Tributes to mother and daughter killed in Plymouth

Loss is 'unexpected and devastating'

Loved-ones of 24-year-old Destiny Harrison and her five-year-old daughter Linnea, killed in a collision with a car in Plymouth on Sunday, say their family will never be the same.

In a statement issued through the police, they write: “It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected and devastating loss of Destiny Harrison and of Linnea Harrison who passed yesterday, together. 

“Destiny, a beautiful, strong young woman who was the doting mother to the larger-than-life Linnea who never failed to make you smile.

“Our family will never be the same without you two. Words will never express how much we all miss you both.

“Sleep tight angels. You’ll never be forgotten. We love you. Always and forever."

The family have asked for privacy as they grieve and come to terms with their loss.

Emergency services were called at around 9.45am on Sunday to a report of a collision involving a Nissan Qashqai and two pedestrians in Victoria Road in the St Budeaux area.

Paramedics, the fire service and police all attended.

A 74-year-old woman from Plymouth was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and of driving while unfit through drink or drugs, and later released under investigation.

The road was closed for nearly 12 hours for investigations to take place.
