Touching tributes have been paid to Lucy Billingham, who was killed when the vehicle left the road and careered into The Old Gate Inn on Saturday.

Since the incident, flowers have been left at the scene and tributes have poured in for the former SupaJam College student.

Emergency services had been called out to the scene following reports of a red Ford Fiesta crashing into the public house.

The road was closed both ways for several hours as officers carried out their investigations.

Four others in the car were taken to hospital for treatment.

Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

The driver, a 20-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
