The family of a mother who died in a crash in Corby have paid tribute to her.

Danielle Sharpe died at the scene following a crash involving the driver of a black Vauxhall Insignia on Fotheringhay Road.

It happened at about 7.30am on Friday 11th September.

Her family have described the 34-year-old as a "loving mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister and aunty" and have released a photograph of her.

In a tribute, they said: "Danielle was such a beautiful and loving mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister and aunty and was loved by so many. We are just beyond heartbroken and cannot believe that she has gone.

"In her short life she left a remarkable stamp on this world, and we cannot put into words just how much we are going to miss her.

"We are so thankful for everybody's love and support during this difficult time, but while we try to come to terms with the loss of Danielle, we would appreciate some time and space to grieve in private.

"We would also ask that people do not speculate about what happened on social media and please allow the police to investigate the collision."

Detectives from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit would still like to hear from anyone who may have dash-cam footage which captured any part of the crash.
