The family of a ‘strong and kind’ mum and grandmother have paid tribute following a fatal collision in Wormley.

Shortly after 6.30pm on Thursday 27 February, officers were called to a collision involving a white Mitsubishi pick-up and a female pedestrian on the High Road.

Sadly the woman, now named as 58-year-old Melanie Tucker, passed away at the scene despite the best efforts of emergency services.

Melanie’s daughters, Emma and Nicole, have since paid tribute and said: “With heavy hearts, we share the heartbreaking news of our dear mother’s passing. Taken from us too soon in a tragic collision, her absence has left an unimaginable void in our lives.

“She was a woman of incredible strength, kindness, and unwavering passion for helping others. A mother who loved fiercely, a grandmother who cherished every moment, and a guiding light to all who knew her. Her love, wisdom, and warmth will remain with us always.

“We, along with her precious grandchildren, are devastated and overwhelmed by this loss. As we navigate this pain, we hold on to the beautiful memories she gifted us—the laughter, the love, and the lessons she imparted.

“Mum, you will always be in our hearts. Your legacy of love and compassion will live on through us. We love you, we miss you, and we will honour you always.

“We would also like to thank all emergency services involved that tried everything they could for our mum too. Thank you x.”

A man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has since been released on police bail while enquiries continue.

Detective Constable Dale Morris from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit added: “Our thoughts remain with Melanie’s family and friends at this difficult time.

“Officers are continuing work to establish the circumstances of what happened and urge anyone who was in the area at the time to please make contact with us via email at [email protected] with any information.”

You can also report information online, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference Op Stansfield.

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form.

If you have dash cam footage in relation to the collision, please upload this via DAMS.
