HEARTFELT tributes have been left to a "dancing queen" mother and dearest friend of over 30 years who tragically died in a crash.

Tracey Riley, who was aged 52, died after a collision on the A6036 (Halifax Road/Bradford Road), near Northowram, on Monday evening.

It was at around 9.15pm and involved a cream-coloured Mini Cooper and a parked lorry, at the side of the road.

Mrs Riley's family released a statement paying tribute to her earlier this afternoon, as police officially confirmed the 52-year-old as the victim in the crash.

Family members, friends and members of the public have also left flowers and tributes at the scene of the crash.

One, from Jasmine, said: "Mother, I love you forever and always our dancing queen. Sleep tight."

Another, from Olivia, said: "Mother, we love you forever and you will always be our [] no matter what. Love you so much."

One of the tributes came from an unnamed friend of more than three decades.

The message said: "My dearest friend of over 30 years. I can't believe I'm writing this.

"I'm never going to hear you sing again. Keep singing in Heaven, I'm sure you will find a karaoke somewhere."

There were a number of bouquets of flowers left at the side of the road alongside the tributes, as well as a glass jar containing roses.

A large message in tribute from Mark, Claire, Joseph and Macy said: "To our dear friend Tracey, words cannot describe the sadness we are all feeling right now.

"You are truly an amazing lady.

"There are so many things I will miss about you. I do not have enough paper to list.

"I will miss our regular chats, your lovely message you sent me, your caring soul, your famous singing and dancing, your happy, smiley face, but most of all, I will just miss having you in our lives, in my family's life.

"R.I.P. my friend. I hope you know how much you were loved by us all.

"You show those angels how to sing and never stop dancing with the stars.

"Forever in our hearts and memories."

Another tribute, from Tim, Laura and Alfie, said: "Our deepest condolences."

There was one from Smurf and Nikki, which said: "To Tracey, rest in peace - our thoughts and love are with you and your family."

One of the other tributes was from Cynthia.

Her message said: "R.I.P. Tracey, dance with the angels."
