The family of a 16-year-old girl who died in a car crash in Devon have described her as a "great friend to many".

Devon and Cornwall Police said Hanna Green, from Kingsteignton, died after the silver Peugeot 107 she was a passenger in crashed on an unnamed road near Exeter Racecourse in Haldon at about 01:20 BST on 8 August.

The driver, an 18-year-old man, was also killed in the crash and three other people - a 16-year-old boy and girls aged 16 and 14 - were injured, the force added.

Miss Green's relatives said they were grateful for the support they have received since her death.
