Family pays tribute to 'one in a million' daughter, 21, killed in Sutton Coldfield crash
The young girl died after being struck by a car on August 22.
The family of 21-year-old Natasha Thorp have paid tribute to their loving daughter and friend who died following a tragic crash in Sutton Coldfield on August 22.
The tribute comes after Natasha was struck by a vehicle shortly before midnight on Brassington Avenue, with emergency services saying that despite their best efforts, she passed away as a result of the incident.
Another pedestrian was also struck by the same car and suffered a leg injury.
Now, the family of Natasha have paid tribute to their daughter who spread 'love, laughter and joy' to all that she knew, saying that 'it was a privilege' to have known her.
They said: "To know Natasha was to know a life filled with love, laughter, and joy. It was a privilege to know her as a part of our family or as a friend.
“Going forward without her is so hard to imagine.
"We would like to thank the emergency services who tried in vain to save her that night.
“And we would also like to thank the wonderful people of Sutton Coldfield for their kind support, particularly those who stayed with, or came to help Natasha on that terrible night.
“It’s very important to our family to know that she wasn’t alone at the end. You were one in a million, Tasha, and you will never be forgotten.
“Night, Tash, love you.”
The investigation is still continuing into the incident, with one man remaining on bail with strict conditions.
A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: "We would ask anyone with any information and footage who hasn’t come forward yet, and may have seen a silver Toyota Corolla immediately before the collision, to speak to us and make a report.
"You can call 101, message us on Live Chat, or email sciu@westmidlands.police.uk quoting log number 5911 of 22 Aug."
