Floral tributes left in Peterlee after woman died by road

A cordon was erected on Passfield Way in Peterlee just before 7.05am on Saturday, June 13, where the woman, in her 50s, was found.

Despite the efforts of paramedics she was pronounced dead at the scene. Durham Police previously said her death is not being treated as suspicious.

Pictures show flowers and lanterns laid at the scene, with messages paying tribute to the woman.

One message read: "Fly high, I hope you make them angels laugh as much as you did me. Gone too soon."

Another card paying tribute said: "Don't threaten me with a good time, you are the craziest person I have ever met, you would do everything for anyone, the most beautiful soul."

Last week, three police vehicles attended with a blue tent erected on the path.

Police taped off the area around the cars, as officers were seen standing beside the blue and white cordon. 

At the time, a North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) spokesperson said: "We were called to an incident on Passfield Way, Shotton shortly after 7am on 13 June.

"We dispatched a double crewed ambulance, a clinical team leader, a rapid response paramedic and a specialist paramedic."
