A passenger in the Honda, who we can now name as 74-year-old Pauline Edwards from Heysham, suffered serious injuries. She was taken to Royal Preston Hospital for treatment but sadly later died.
Pauline’s family said in tribute: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pauline Edwards in a road traffic collision on August 4.
“Pauline taught at Lancaster Road Primary School for 40 years and touched many lives because of her ready smile, and caring and generous nature.
“As the loving widow of James Edwards, Pauline leaves behind her two sons, and many close friends. Pauline will be very much missed by all those who knew and loved her.
“The family would also like to make an appeal for any witnesses to come forward who may have seen the collision or been on the Bay Gate Way around that time.”
The driver of the Honda, an 82-year-old woman from Morecambe, suffered hip and facial injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment, with a third woman, aged 80 and from Morecambe, suffering minor injuries.
