‘BEAUTIFUL GIRL TAKEN SO SOON’
TRIBUTES TO MUM KILLED IN M32 CRASH
THE heartbroken family of a mum of one who died in an M32 crash says her death has left an ‘empty space no one will ever be able to fill.’
The collision, on Monday, August 30, happened between junction one (Hambrook) and junction two (Eastville) at approximately 2am. Tenisha Cooper, from Gloucester, sadly died from her injuries.
The Vauxhall Astra, that she was a passenger in, left the southbound carriageway of the M32 and entered undergrowth.
Tenisha’s family have since released the following tribute to their “beautiful young girl”.
It read: “We have been absolutely devastated by the loss of our beloved Tenisha. Our hearts have truly been broken beyond repair.
“We cannot believe that such a beautiful young girl, who had the rest of her life ahead of her, has been taken from us so soon.
“The whole family are still struggling to process this tragedy and we are hugely heartbroken for Tenisha’s two-year-old son that she now leaves behind, whom she doted on so very dearly.
“He will now grow up with very few memories of his loving mother and an empty space that nobody can ever fill.
“We would also like to say that we’ve been totally overwhelmed by both the love and support received from family and friends, as well as the Gloucester community – for this we will be forever grateful and thank you to everyone that has shown so much compassion and sympathy during our darkest hour.”
A woman driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drink driving and has been released under investigation.
Officers are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed or has dashcam footage of the collision or the silver Astra in the moments before the collision. If you can help, call 101 quoting reference 5221200131.
