Anna Domagala had recently travelled to Italy with her mother

Tributes have been paid to a woman who died at the scene of a crash this month after she was hit by a car.

Anna Domagala, 43, of Hove, was walking home after celebrating England's victory against the Netherlands in the Euros on 11 July at 00:20 BST, when she was hit by a vehicle in Davigdor Road.

She was treated by paramedics at the scene, but died a short while later, Sussex Police said.

In a statement issued through police, her family and friends said: "Her presence is irreplaceable, and her spirit is unforgettable. She touched the lives of many."

Family and friends said Ms Domagala had a spirit that lightened everyone's day

The statement said: "She had an infectious smile and kindness that shone through in life, and in the workplace, where she had a career in supporting those with educational needs.

"Anna was a gifted musician, she played guitar, and was in a band for a period of time and loved to experience life to the fullest.

"As an only child, Anna would spend a lot of time with her mum, and they had both recently travelled Italy together, exploring, and just appreciating one another's company."

It said: "Anna was a brilliant friend who had a spirit that lightened everyone's day."

A 28-year-old Brighton man has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and causing death by driving a vehicle without insurance or a driving licence.

Witnesses or anyone with information, including CCTV, dashcam or phone footage, have been asked to contact police.
