Tributes paid to Crediton crash woman

Patricia Daniels

The family of a woman who died three months after a car crash in Crediton have paid tribute to the great-grandmother.

78-year-old Patricia Daniels from Copplestone died on Monday after the incident in November last year.

Her family issued a statement saying she was active member of the Women's Insitute, helping to secure £50,000 in funding for her local branch.

They added: "Mrs Daniels was a London bus conductor for 30 years who witnessed and survived the London Poll-tax riots as part of her distinguished service. She then went on to fulfill her retirement wish of moving to the country with her animals. She will be greatly missed by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will remember Pat as a strong, independent woman who was known for her love of soap operas and animals. Pat was the owner of three cats and two Border Collies who she enjoyed taking for their daily walk in Shobrooke Park.”

Police have launched a fresh appeal for information, and would like to speak to any witnesses who saw a red Nissan or a silver Volvo before the crash on the A377 at around 5 o'clock on the evening of 27th November.
