The family of a woman who died after being hit by a car in Hertfordshire on Christmas Eve have paid tribute to her.
The incident occurred at a pedestrian crossing in Bennetts End Road, Hemel Hempstead, at around 6.10pm on Saturday, December 24.
It involved a black Nissan Juke and a pedestrian who police have named as 52-year-old Shelagh Christina Casey (née Penrose) from Hemel Hempstead.
Her brothers said: “Our sister will be dearly missed by all who knew her. She was very outgoing and made friends easily.
“She was well known, not only in her local neighbourhood, but also in the wider community.
“A lifelong dog lover, she often rescued and rehomed dogs in need of her help.”
