The family of a three-year-old girl who died in a horror crash on the M6 have said her tragic death has left a 'massive hole' in their lives, as they paid tribute to the 'precious' little girl.

Faye Dawson, from Merseyside, died on Saturday evening (November 19) after the car she was travelling in collided with another vehicle on the southbound carriageway of the M6, near Leyland, in Lancashire.

Emergency services raced to the scene of the smash at around 5.50pm on Saturday evening. Lancashire Police said two cars - a Porsche Boxster and a Vauxhall Meriva - were involved, with a 79-year-old man also killed in the tragedy.

Paying tribute to three-year-old Faye, her family said: “Our beautiful Faye Grace, words will never express the heartache we are all going through since you were tragically taken from us. We can’t see the future without you, it has left a massive hole in our lives.

“Everyone says how precious their daughter/granddaughter is but you were an exception, you were such a clever little girl who was very funny and had us all laughing all the time.

“You were so loving and caring and above all very loved by everyone who met you. You’re now at rest with your great nanny, great grandad and Uncle Jimmy.

“Words won’t justify how much we are all going to miss you and how much we all love you. Your mummy is being so brave and she will continue to make you proud.

“You were too little to be taken away from us, but we know the angels will look after you and they’re lucky to have you dancing in the sky with them.

We are all so heartbroken that you were taken far too young but we are so glad that we got to have you for the time we did. RIP baby girl, we are all missing you and will carry on forever. All our love.”

Faye’s mother, who was in the Vauxhall Mervia car with her, also suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital to be treated. A man in the car also received serious injuries. It collided with a Porsche Boxster driven by a 79-year-old man, who died at the scene.

Anyone who witnessed or has dashcam footage from the motorway, please contact 101 – quoting log 1102 of November 19, 2022.
