Today, Justine’s family said: “Our family will never be the same again, we are confused, lost and truly heartbroken. We will be strong for Nyla, Jimmy and Robby your three babies and keep your memory alive, you are back with nana Val now both watching over us.”

Specially trained officers are supporting Justine’s family.

A Cleveland Police spokesperson said: “Our thoughts remain with them at this very difficult time.”

Officers have issued an appeal to trace a silver Volvo XC90 with registration SV04 TFE, which did not stop at the scene and is believed to have carried on travelling towards Skelton village following the collision.
