An Edinburgh mum who died after she was hit by a car has been described as a ‘beautiful soul’ who loved life.

She was taken to the Royal Infirmary but died from her injuries the following day.

Paying tribute to her mother, Kerryann Hutchison said: “My mum was honestly the sweetest, kindest, most loving, caring, gentle and beautiful soul, and enjoying life.

“She is sorely missed by everyone who knew her. I am broken by what has happened, as are the rest of the family and all friends who knew her.

“I would like to say thank you to the staff and customers of The Hoppy Bar, where she had been that night, for their help and support. I could not have coped without them.

"And a thank you to the emergency services.”

The investigation to establish the full circumstances of the crash continues.

The driver of the car, a 33-year-old man, has been arrested and released pending further enquiries.
