Shelagh Christina Casey's brothers have now paid tribute to their sister: "Our sister will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

"She was very outgoing and made friends easily.

“She was well known, not only in her local neighbourhood, but also in the wider community.

“A lifelong dog lover, she often rescued and rehomed dogs in need of her help.”

Hertfordshire police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward.

PC David Burstow said: "Losing a loved one is extremely difficult at any time of year, but it was especially hard for Shelagh’s family to get this devastating news at Christmas.

"Our thoughts remain with them.

“We are still appealing for any witnesses who haven’t yet contacted police to please come forward.

"If you saw the vehicle in the area prior to the incident, or captured any dash cam footage, we’d like to hear from you.”
