Family’s loving tribute to 3-year-old who died in M6 crash near Leyland

The family of a three-year-old girl killed in a crash on the M6 near Leyland have paid a loving and heartfelt tribute to her.

Faye Dawson, of Wallasey, Merseyside, died on Saturday evening after the car she was travelling in collided with another car on the southbound carriageway.

The tribute released by her family said: “Our beautiful Faye Grace, words will never express the heartache we are all going through since you were tragically taken from us.

“We can’t see the future without you, it has left a massive hole in our lives.

“Everyone says how precious their daughter/granddaughter is but you were an exception, you were such a clever little girl who was very funny and had us all laughing all the time.

“You were so loving and caring and above all very loved by everyone who met you.

“You’re now at rest with your great nanny, great grandad and Uncle Jimmy.

“Words won’t justify how much we are all going to miss you and how much we all love you.

“Your mummy is being so brave and she will continue to make you proud.

“You were too little to be taken away from us, but we know the angels will look after you and they’re lucky to have you dancing in the sky with them.

“We are all so heartbroken that you were taken far too young but we are so glad that we got to have you for the time we did.

“RIP baby girl, we are all missing you and will carry on forever. All our love.”

Faye’s mother who was in the Vauxhall Mervia car with her, suffered serious injuries and is being treated in hospital. A man in the car also received serious injuries.

The Vauxhall collided with a Porsche Boxster driven by a 79-year-old man, who died at the scene.

The collision happened at 5.50pm on Saturday between junctions 28 and 29 of the M6.
