Sam unfortunately died at the age of 15
The couple was pronounced dead at the scene as a result of their injuries.
It is learned that two cars were involved in the collision, and the second 13-year-old was transported to the hospital.
Clair and Sam’s family have now paid tribute to them following the tragedy.
They said: “Clair was a smart parent, loving daughter and sister who would do anything for anyone.
“Before the pandemic, Clair worked at Bolton Theatre, supporting those facing mental health challenges.
“She loved going to pottery class every week and was such a creative person and could go from a lump of clay to making anything she put her mind to.
“Sam was in year 11, looking forward to studying music at college; he loved to sing and play the drums.
“Listening to music was one of Sam’s favorite things, he was always around the house with headphones on.
“When Sam wasn’t listening to music, he could be found in his own world playing on his computer. Her family meant the world to her; he was a brother and a son whose loss will leave a hole in our family forever.
“A Christmas without Sam and Clair will be incredibly difficult not only for us, but for everyone who knew them both.”
PC Thomas Johnson said: “Our thoughts continue to be with their family who are being supported by officers at this really difficult time.”
