Boxing Day crash victims named as mum and daughter

Relatives paid tribute to mother and daughter Amanda Riley, 49, and Linda Philips, 72

A mother and daughter who died in a crash on Boxing Day have been named, as family members appeal for witnesses to come forward.

Linda Philips, 72, and Amanda Riley, 49, died near the junction of Kitts Green Road and Mackadown Lane in Birmingham.

The crash involved the quad bike, a BMW 4 Series and an MG ZS, with the two female passengers in the MG.

A family tribute said Linda was a dearly loved wife and great-grandmother while Amanda was a beautiful mother and grandmother.

"The family are devastated and respectfully ask for privacy at this extremely difficult time," relatives said.

"We ask, if anyone has any information, however small, please come forward, so that the families can get justice for Linda and Amanda."

Relatives said they were devastated by the deaths

Police were previously waiting to question a hospitalised man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Officers said on Thursday he had been de-arrested, but would be spoken to again in due course.

Another man who was questioned for assisting an offender has been released with no further action.

Four other people involved in the crash, including a young child, were taken to hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
