THE family of a teenager who died in a motorway collision yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, May 4) have paid tribute to her.

Police were called to the M5 junction 18 slip road at about 4.30pm after reports that a female had fallen from a bridge and been struck by a vehicle.

Charlotte Hill, 15, died at the scene. Her death is not being treated as suspicious.

Her family said: “Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Hill was a loving daughter and sister, greatly loved by all her family and friends.

“She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.”
