Tributes have been paid to a woman killed in a crash near Congleton.

Amarni Jessica Rose Walton was a passenger in an Audi which collided with a silver Range Rover parked in a layby on Newcastle Road in Moreton on Friday evening, May 1.

The 20-year-old, from Chell, died at the scene.

Paying tribute on Tuesday, May 12, her family said: "Our darling daughter, Amarni Jessica Rose, was taken from us far too soon on Friday, May 1, due to a serious RTC, leaving behind a world less bright.

"Amarni was a devoted daughter, sister, granddaughter and girlfriend who worked hard, cared endlessly and loved fiercely.

"She loved being with her friends and most of all, her family. She taught us all how to love fully and live in the moment.

"Though our hearts are broken, we will try to find some peace in the beautiful and funny memories she left us.

"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure."'
