A WOMAN has been left heartbroken after her twin sister was killed in a car crash just days before Christmas.
Chloe Pearson, 18, was a passenger in a white Citroen C3 that was involved in a collision with a black Mercedes-Benz CLK on the A426 Rugby Road, Leicestershire, on the night of December 15.
Miss Pearson, from Castleford in West Yorkshire, was taken to hospital but died as a result of her injuries two days later.
Her twin sister Abigale Pearson was also in the car when the collision occurred.
She was taken to hospital with serious injuries but has since been discharged.
In a tribute to her sister, she said: “The most devastating thing is that I came out of this incident without my twin sister.
“I’m absolutely mortified and heartbroken that I’ve no longer got her by my side. Rest in peace beautiful, until we meet again.”
Her grandmother, Elizabeth Pearson, added: “Chloe was caring, beautiful and so full of life. She had just started her nursing career.
“It is so numbing; we are all in shock. The family has been ripped apart. We are all mourning together. Castleford is mourning.”
Abigale also said in an emotional tribute posted on Facebook: “Words can’t describe how much I miss you Chloe, life’s never going to be same without you.
“I’m heartbroken and lost knowing you’re never coming back.
“I promise to always make you proud, I love you so much.”
A total of seven people were injured in the collision.
The driver of the Citroen and one of the other passengers remain in hospital receiving treatment.
Abigale Pearson and another passenger from the same vehicle have since been discharged.
The driver and the passenger in the Mercedes both remain in hospital.
