The family of a young woman who was killed in a collision with two cars in Wigan has said they ‘hope that she finds peace with her mum in heaven’.
Emergency services were called to Ormskirk Road around 12.45am on Sunday, July 20, after reports of a collision between a pedestrian and two taxis.
When officers arrived they found Megan Louise Hoskins, 20, from Wigan, trapped underneath a black Skoda Octavia.
She was rescued by Greater Manchester Fire Rescue Service and taken to hospital but sadly died a few hours later.
Today, in a heartfelt statement, Megan’s family said: “Megan Louise Hoskins was a fun loving 20-year-old girl who lived life to the full.
“She was much loved by all her friends and family and was always the life and soul of any room that she was in.
“Her main hobbies were spending time with friends and family, especially her younger sister Molly.
“Megan was a highly ambitious and caring person who would do anything for anyone.
The family revealed Megan had plans of becoming a social worker and travelling the world with her friends.
“Megan had a hard life growing up but was always smiling,” Megan’s family said.
“Her accomplishments and her caring nature made her dad, Michael Hoskins, extremely proud of her.
“Megan will be extremely missed by everyone that knew her and we hope that she finds peace with her mum in heaven.”
