Yorkshire Personal Injury
THE family of a young car enthusiast who died in an accident on Monday night say they are devastated.
Sian Morgan died when her silver Vauxhall Corsa hit a tree after it came off the A167, between Northallerton and Thirsk, North Yorkshire, at about 10pm.
Miss Morgan, 20, from Barnard Castle, County Durham, died at the scene. Her male passenger, who is also 20 and from Stockton, suffered serious injuries and is recovering in hospital.
It is thought Miss Morgan was in a convoy with two other cars that had travelled from Thirsk to Northallerton earlier in the evening, and at the time of the collision were returning to Thirsk.
Last night, her family said in a statement: “Philip, Donna and Flo are deeply shocked and devastated by the sudden loss of their cherished and much-loved daughter and sister.
“Sian will be deeply missed.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and kind thoughts at this difficult time.”
Miss Morgan went to Teesdale School, in Barnard Castle, before going on to study IT at Darlington College.
Kath MacColl, from the college, said: “Sian will be remembered by staff as an outgoing student who was friendly and popular amongst her peers.
“She mixed well and was an enthusiastic student.”
Miss Morgan had been modifying her Vauxhall Corsa for several months and was a member of the Corsa-C UK enthusiasts group.
Since her death, several members have paid tribute to her on the group website.
One member wrote: “Such a waste. She was such an energetic lass, always made you laugh.”
Earlier this week, several members of the group went on a drive around Teesside and North Yorkshire in memory of Miss Morgan.
Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call police on 0845-60-60-24-7.
