The family of a woman who died in a horror crash that also killed the driver and left a nine-year-old passenger with life-changing injuries
Two women who died in a crash at Pleasley have been named by police – as a nine-year-old remains in hospital receiving treatment for life-changing injuries.
The collision, involving a Vauxhall Meriva and a Suzuki Alto, occurred in Common Lane, at Pleasley, at around 6.20am on Thursday 27 November.
The driver and passenger of the Suzuki were pronounced dead at the scene. They have now been named as Amie Pearson, 26, who was the driver, and Chelsea Carlisle, 29, who was the passenger.
A nine-year-old boy who was also in the Suzuki suffered serious life changing injuries and was taken to hospital where he remains.
Three men who were in the Vauxhall were also injured, two of them seriously.
An 18-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. Due to the injuries he sustained in the collision he was taken to hospital where he remains.
A fundraising page has now been launched to support the funeral costs for Ms Carlisle, as well as her family, following her death.
The fundraiser, signed by Ms Carlisle's wife, parents and extended family, reads: "It is with the deepest regret and heartbreaking loss that we as a family announce the tragic death of our beautiful and beloved Chelsea Carlisle.
"Chelsea sadly lost her life in the road traffic collision that occurred on the 27/11 on Common Lane in Pleasley.
"This fundraiser has been set up to help give our precious Chelsea the send-off she deserves.
"This will also help support her loving wife, Georgia, and their precious son, Reuben, with finding a home, necessities and dealing with everything that comes from such a devastating loss.
"We as a family appreciate all of the support the community are giving and we will be eternally grateful.
"We love you Chelsea, and we all miss you so much."
So far, more than £5,000 has been raised since the page was launched, out of a target of £8,000.
