Tribute paid to “loving daughter” who died in Bury road collision

Tributes have been paid to a woman who lost her life after crossing Manchester Road in Bury.

At around 9.30pm on Wednesday, October 2, Greater Manchester Police and other emergency services were called to a report of a road traffic collision, whereby a car had collided with a pedestrian.

The 30-year-old pedestrian, Amy McNicholas (pictured), died in hospital on October 7.

The driver of the car – a woman in her 50s – stopped at the scene and was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by driving without due care and attention. She has been released on bail.

Amy McNicholas’s family said: “We are heartbroken at the loss of our loving daughter Amy who tragically passed away so unexpectedly. She was the kindest soul and a pleasure to always be around, our family will have a part missing now she is gone.

“She was caring to everyone she knew and always had a smile on her face. Amy will be forever loved and missed by all that knew her.”

The family have asked for privacy during this difficult time.

PC Liam Farrelly said: “Firstly, our thoughts are with the loved ones of the woman that has tragically lost her life. Specialist officers have been deployed to help her family through this very difficult time.

“We are continuing to investigate, and I would ask for anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward if you haven’t done so already.

“We are keen to speak to anyone who may have any footage, including dashcam, mobile phone or doorbell footage, from the area in the moments leading up to the collision.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 0161 856 4741 quoting log number 3263 of 02/10/2024.
