17-year-old girl has died after a police chase ended in a car crash.
Erica De Sousa Correia died in hospital earlier, two weeks after being injured when a car being pursued by police officers came off the road in Bolton.
De Sousa Correia, who had been a passenger in the car, “was the baby of our very close family,” her family said, adding: “We cannot put into words our tragic loss and how much we will miss her.”
Following the crash in Walker Fold Road on 5 May, a 17-year-old boy was charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He has been bailed pending further inquiries.
’Birthday outfit planned’
”Erica’s happiness was contagious,” her family said.
