The family of a 'wonderful' woman who died in a collision on the A26 at Ringmer has paid tribute to her.

Lisa Bonwick, 48, was riding her motorcycle on Uckfield Road on Sunday, September 26th, when she was involved in a collision with a car around 3.45pm.

She sadly died at the scene.

Paying tribute to Lisa, her family said:

"She was a wonderful mum to two girls and a nanny to a granddaughter.

"She was an inspiration to many and loved and adored by many more, especially by the people of East Grinstead where she lived most of her life.

"She was always so full of life and lit up a room with her infection laugh and smile.

"For the last four years of her life, riding her motorbike was her favourite hobby with her partner.

"Everybody around her is devastated that she was taken away from us so young and in such a tragic way."

Police investigating the collision arrested a 41-year-old man on suspicion of causing death by careless driving.

He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
