Hannah Blakeway, 55, of Ludlow, died on July 31 after suffering serious injuries in the crash eight days earlier involving a silver Vauxhall Zafira she was travelling in and two Land Rover Freelanders.

In a statement her family said: “Hannah was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, who was adored by her husband, and will be missed forever.

“Hannah was well known in the local community, especially for the 15 years she spent working as a cook at the Churchill house nursing home.

“She will be missed by family, friends, neighbours and members of the community.

“We would like to thank all emergency services involved, including the rapid response air ambulance team that flew Hannah and her husband to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, and those all involved in their care.

“And we would like to add a special thanks to the unknown couple that were on holiday at the time, who were in the area and cared for the children at the roadside, thank you for the kind and caring word that have been received.

“The family would like to thank everyone for their kind words and messages of sympathy at this sad time and asked the media to respect their privacy and give them time to come to terms with their loss”

Police are following a number of enquiries to help with their investigation of the collision, which happened near Leominster.

Anyone who witnessed the accident should get in touch with police on 101, quoting incident number 640S of July 23.
