Last night, family and friends released tributes to mother and daughter following the tragic incident.

“We would like to thank the citizens who stopped to help and called an ambulance.
“An extensive investigation is underway to determine what happened, and we appeal to anyone who witnessed the accident or was nearby at the time to contact us.
“I also want to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage of the Passat before the accident.
