Tributes paid to mother-of-two who was hit by car while jogging

Police said Aimi McCaffery died at the scene

Tributes have been paid to a mother-of-two who died when she was hit by a car while out jogging.

Nottinghamshire Police said Aimi McCaffery was struck by a BMW in Cropwell Road, close to where it merges into Radcliffe Road, in Cropwell Butler at about 08:50 BST on Sunday.

The 46-year-old died at the scene, the force added.

In a statement, her family said Ms McCaffery was "a wonderful mother, wife, daughter and loving friend".

Ms McCaffery, from Cropwell Butler, leaves behind her husband as well as two children.

"We feel like our world has collapsed," her family added.

"Aimi was the bedrock of our family and our grief is incomparable."

'Inspirational leader'

Ms McCaffery was chief executive of charity TwentyTwenty, which runs Love4Life - a programme set up in 2008 in response to growing concern for the wellbeing and safety of girls from a Loughborough estate.

In a tribute posted on its website, the charity said it had lost a "much-loved, inspirational and dedicated leader".

TwentyTwenty chair Jonathan Kerry added: "Aimi was a wonderful person, a joy to know and work with. She has been the driving force behind the growth of Love4Life in the past two years and was full of ideas for the future."

Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses and any dashcam footage that may help their investigation.
