Tributes have been pouring in for a much-loved Bradford mum who tragically died in a horror crash.

Amber Deakin was the passenger in a silver Vauxhall Vectra which flipped over and crashed on Baildon Road (B6151), near its junction with Pasture Road, at 11.47pm on January 3.

A witness said the vehicle came off the road and flipped into a position where it meant the car's roof hit a wall first.

Police said the vehicle failed to stop for them and was being pursued by officers at the time of the crash and a referral has been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

The collision provoked a major response from emergency services and a number of people were rushed to hospital.

West Yorkshire Police confirmed an 18-year-old woman had died, with five others treated for injuries sustained in the crash.

A 21-year-old man arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and a 26-year-old man arrested in connection with the incident remain in police custody.

The teenager, who lived in the Windhill area, leaves behind a 16-month-old son, Junior, and three siblings – younger brothers Blake and Bailey and older sister Holly.

She has been described as an “amazing mother” and “lovely girl with a heart of gold” by those who knew her.
