Tribute paid to 'loving mum' who died after crash on M1

A "kind, caring and thoughtful" woman has died in hospital after a crash on the M1.

Nicola Raistrick was driving a black Vauxhall Corsa on the M1 southbound when she collided with heavy goods vehicle, at around 6.30am on Wednesday, February 5.

The 43-year-old's car then bounced off the central reservation and collided with another heavy goods vehicle and a Renault Trafic, near junction 31.

She was taken to hospital for treatment but died two days later.

No one else was injured in the collision.

In a statement, her family said: "She was a loving mum, nanna and niece.

"She was kind, caring and thoughtful. She is loved by many and will be sadly missed."

South Yorkshire Police are still investigating the fatal collision and appealing for witnesses and information.

A police spokesman said: "Officers are still keen to hear from anyone who saw what happened, or who has dashcam footage which could assist the inquiry.

"If you can help, please call 101 quoting incident number 115 of 5 February 2020.

"You can submit dashcam footage via email to enquiries@southyorks.pnn.police.uk."
