A family has paid tribute to a young woman who sadly died in a collision in Manchester City Centre last month.
In a social media post, Greater Manchester Police said,
“Imogen Higgs, aged 22, sadly passed away as a result of her injuries after she was tragically involved in a road traffic collision on 31 May 2024 on Mauldeth Road West in Manchester city centre.
A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of death by dangerous driving, fail to stop and perverting the course of justice, and an 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. They have both been released on bail.
In a tribute to Imogen, her family said: “Our darling Immy was cruelly and needlessly taken from us on 31 May.
“We are all devastated and heartbroken. Our family has been destroyed.
“She had graduated with a history degree from the University of Manchester last year and had been working at the University for the last nine months.
“She was intelligent, witty, funny, thoughtful, kind, and caring. The best daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and friend anyone could hope for. Beautiful inside and out, she brought sunshine into everyone’s lives.
“The world will be a dark place without her shining light in it.
“We would like to thank the people at the scene who tried to save Immy’s life, including the numerous paramedics and hospital staff.
“She will never be forgotten and is loved, cherished, and adored by everyone who knew her.”
