In tribute, Kali's family said:

"Our precious, beautiful daughter, loving and thoughtful sister, granddaughter, niece and cousin.

"Kali was adored and loved by family, friends and colleagues.

"She was happy loving life and just starting out in the career she loved.

"There are no words, life will simply never be the same, our hearts are broken.

"Kali - we love you beyond words, love you beautiful."

Two passengers from the car, an 18-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man, were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in King's Lynn, but have since been discharged.

No one on the bus, including the driver, a 37-year-old woman, required hospital treatment.

An investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made.

Kali's family are being supported by specialist officers and have asked for their privacy to be respected at this time.
