Natasha Woolley, from Tunstall, was taken to hospital with serious injuries but died on Monday, police said

The family of a woman who died several days after a car hit a house said her death was a "devastating loss".

Natasha Woolley, 30, from Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, was taken to hospital with serious injuries and died on Monday.

Police said they were called at 18.30 BST on Thursday to initial reports that a red VW Polo had hit a pedestrian on Dunning Street as well as a house on Madeley Street.

They then clarified and said Ms Woolley was riding a bicycle at the time of the crash and was not on foot.

The house which was hit was on Madeley Street in Tunstall, police said

The driver of the car, a 20-year-old man from Stoke-on-Trent, was arrested on suspicion of driving offences and released under investigation.

Ms Woolley's family added in their statement that they would miss her "fiery spirit and infectious laugh".

"Natie is a deeply loved daughter, sister, granddaughter and auntie," they added.

"She was also a true friend to all animals - especially cats.

"[We] are so grateful to her for holding on and giving us the chance to say goodbye."

They thanked first responders and staff at the Royal Stoke University Hospital and asked for privacy as they grieved.
