Tribute to mum of three who died in car crash

Jaimie-Leigh May was a "one-woman festival of joy", her sister said

A mother of three who died after a two-car crash adored her children "with every ounce of her heart" and "gave them everything," her family has said.

Jaimie-Leigh May, 26, died in hospital after the vehicle she was a passenger in crashed on a canal bridge on Bodymoor Heath Road near Tamworth at about 18:45 BST on 4 May.

Four other occupants in the same car were treated for non life-threatening injuries with the occupants of the second car suffering minor injuries, Warwickshire Police said.

Paying tribute, Ms May's sister Jess described her as a "walking firework" who was her "partner in crime" and the "best sister anyone could ask for".

"How do you even begin to describe someone like Jaimie-Leigh? You don't. You feel her, in every memory, every laugh, every chaotic but beautiful moment she gave us," she said in a statement.

Ms May was also "fierce, funny, soft and strong all at once" and had this "incredible mix of chaos and kindness".

The 26-year-old had just started a new job and was "smashing life," her sister said.

"She was unstoppable, a storm of ambition, beauty, banter and sheer determination," she added in the tribute.

"A one-woman festival of joy, sass, stubbornness and the kind of love that wrapped around you whether you wanted it or not.

"She showed up as her, every damn day. That's what made her unforgettable."

Officers are continuing to appeal for witnesses or those with dashcam footage of the crash to come forward.
