The family of a mother-of-four who died in a horror crash on the M60 have paid tribute to her.
Shirley-Ann Dumbuya was driving her Kia Ceed near to junction 20 of the motorway in Middleton shortly before 8.45am yesterday (Thursday) when she was involved in a collision with a lorry.
Despite the best efforts of medical staff, the 38-year-old was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Shirley-Ann, from Moston, was a mum-of-four and a final year nursing student at the University of Bolton.
Her heartbroken family have now paid tribute to her - they said they 'words cannot express how amazing she was'.
They said: "Our beautiful mum, words cannot express how amazing she was. A truly God-fearing inspiration to everyone she met.
"She will always be in our hearts and will always be sorely missed.
"Our rock, our mum - never ever to be forgotten. Hold your loved ones that little bit tighter and appreciate every moment no matter how small. We miss you mum."
Shirley-Ann's daughter added: "No words can express how much I love you, but you are with God now!
"You always said 'be a fighter', not physically but with your spirit and your soul - I love you!!!'
A 33-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by driving without due care and attention.
He remains in custody for questioning.
