A teenage girl was killed after she hit by part of the wing mirror on a passing lorry on a quiet road.
Holly Chevassut was 14-years-old when she was struck by part of a recovery truck in Harbury village on October 31, 2018, an inquest heard.
She suffered a 'traumatic spinal chord injury' and was rushed to hospital, where she sadly died two days later, Coventry Telegraph reported.
In a statement released through Warwickshire Police, Holly's family said: "'We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beautiful daughter.
"Holly was a wonderful young woman; talented, creative, funny and beautiful.
"She made us laugh, sometimes cry and we are so very proud of her, of all she achieved and all that she might have become.
"She is much-loved by her family and friends and will be greatly missed.
"We would like to thank all the emergency services and the staff at University Hospital in Coventry for the care and respect they gave to Holly and us, the many friends of Holly for their thoughtful and caring messages, and our friends and family for their ongoing love and support."
An inquest recorded Holly died of a spinal cord injury caused by the impact of the collision, with a coroner raising concerns over the design of the truck's wing mirror.
On the day of the incident Holly was walking down a narrow road with no footpaths at around 5.30pm,
It was dark at this time and as the truck, owned by GRS Recovery, drove past her, Holly was hit by kit designed to protect the wing mirror.
A coroner's report has been published highlighting concerns that following this incident, changes needed to be made to the vehicles to to prevent a repeat incident.
GRS Recovery responded, saying the wing mirror protectors have now been removed from their vehicles and the overall position of the wing mirrors have been altered.
