The family of a woman who died in a collision on the A19 near Tollerton have paid tribute to someone who was “kindness in its purest form, radiating beauty inside and out”.
The collision occurred shortly before 7.20am on Tuesday 26 January 2021, involving a Volvo bus and a black Audi A1 car.
The driver of the car, Saskia Bets, 27, was taken to hospital, but sadly died later that evening.
"Kindness in its purest form"
Saskia’s partner Sam Read has paid tribute to her on behalf of her family. He wrote:
“I felt like the luckiest person in the world to even know Saskia’s name, so to fall in love, share her life and have dreams together is indescribable and something I will treasure for the rest of my life. Saskia’s compassion, intelligence and vibrance gave her a quiet strength and confidence that made everybody’s life brighter.
“Not only was Saskia my partner, but my best friend, my past, present and future in every possible way. She was kindness in its purist form, and radiated a beauty inside and out that will never be forgotten to those privileged enough to have met her, for even the briefest of moments.
“We must continue to be the better people Saskia made us, to make her proud and to aspire to be like her, no matter how impossible that may be. She was and still is, in my eyes, the best of all of us. No amount of words will do justice to how much I love Saskia, and no amount will describe how much I will miss her.
“We thank everyone for their such kind words, and wish that everyone continue sharing their memories of her as it brings us so much comfort.”
Police say enquiries into the collision are continuing.
