Family tribute to 'happy and wise' woman killed in Leeds crash as police name victim
The family of a 36-year-old woman killed in a crash on Beckett Street in Leeds have paid tribute to her as police issue a fresh appeal to occupants of the vehicle.
Detectives have named a woman who died following a fatal crash on Beckett Street in Leeds.
Květoslava Horvathova, 36, died after being hit by a black Vauxhall Corsa at around 9.52am on October 29.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed a pursuit of the Corsa had been authorised a short time before the crash took place. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is independently investigating the circumstances surrounding the pursuit.
Paying tribute to her, the family of Květoslava Horvathova said: “Květoslava was a very friendly, wise, helpful, understanding, and happy person.
“Our entire family will never forget her.”
A 19-year-old man was charged last week with causing death by dangerous driving in connection with the collision.
He is scheduled to appear at Leeds Crown Court on November 27.
Detectives from the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team (HMET) understand at least two people were inside the vehicle at the time of the collision, and are urging all remaining occupants to step forward.
Officers are continuing to appeal for any witnesses to the incident or drivers with relevant dashcam footage to come forward.
