Tributes have been paid to a woman who died after a road traffic collision near Lancaster University.
Alison Graham's family said she "accomplished so much in her life and was someone who always gave so much to others".
Alison suffered serious injuries in the incident on the A6 at the junction with Sir John Fisher Drive on Tuesday.
A Lancaster Police spokesperson said: "At 5.39pm we received a report of a collision between a Dacia Sandero car and a pedestrian.
"The pedestrian, who can now be named as Alison Graham, suffered serious injuries, and was taken to hospital.
"Despite the best efforts of medical personnel, Alison has since sadly died. Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this extremely distressing time."
In a tribute, Alison’s family said: “At the end of last week, our hearts were broken by the sudden loss of Alison in a tragic traffic accident.
"Ali was a much-loved sister, daughter, niece and cousin, and a great friend to many.
“Alison accomplished so much in her life, and was someone who always gave so much to others. She was smart, kind and funny, with a sparkling personality and a great sense of humour.
"She devoted her life and professional career to human rights, and improving the lives of others across the world. Everything she did was with intelligence, passion and heart.
“She will be enormously missed by her family and friends, and by all those who knew and loved her. She leaves a great hole in all of our lives.
“We would appreciate privacy as we grieve the loss of this very special person.”
We are continuing to appeal for any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage which could assist our enquiries to make contact with us.
