A mother says her heart has been left "truly broken" after her daughter died in a crash, leaving behind three children.

Amani Khan, 43, has been named as the driver of a Nissan Qashqai that hit a fence and a tree on the A53 near Hodnet, Shropshire, at about 03:30 BST on 29 June.

A one-year-old child, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was not injured in the incident, West Mercia Police confirmed.

In a statement released by the force, Ms Khan's mother said: "I can't believe my beautiful daughter has gone in such a tragic way - my heart is truly broken not just for me but her three gorgeous children."
