Mum in horror cycle crash named

1:27pm Monday 29th September 2008


A MOTHER killed while riding her bike in Westy on Saturday morning has been named as Sharon Corless.

The 42-year-old from Woolston was in collision with a Range Rover Sport at 10.52am near to the roundabout at the junction of the A50 Kingsway North and Farrell Street.

The mother-of-three died from multiple injuries at Warrington Hospital where she worked as a support worker in women's and children's services.

Her 46-year-old husband was also in collision with the car and was taken to hospital where he is in a stable condition ans is being treated for leg and pelvic injuries.

Floral tributes today, Monday, marked the scene of the tragic accident.

Pinned to a bunch of roses one simply read: "Mummy.x."

Another card on a bunch of flowers read: "Hi. Once seen, never forgotten. You will be sorely missed."

At North Cheshire Hospitals NHS Trust's annual general meeting today chief executive Catherine Beardshaw paid tribute to Mrs Corless on behalf of all her colleagues.

"She was the epitome of what we would want in our staff," she said.

"She was cheerful, she worked hard and she got things done.

"We are devastated by what happened to Sharon and her husband and our thoughts are with her husband and her children.

"We will do everything we can to support that family in the future," she said.

Police are investigating whether the 35-year-old woman driver from Fearnhead was using her mobile at the time of the accident, which also saw her collide with a red Peugeot 307.

She has been released on police bail until November 14, pending further investigation.

You can leave your tributes to Mrs Corless below.

* Please remember that there is an on-going police investigation into the incident and readers are asked not to speculate as to the cause.

Sharon. So many laughs through out the years, you made us smile when we had tears. Always the one to keep us up beat with tales and jokes and with the people you would meet. A friendly face for some people with worries that you would ease with no such hurry. You had the time for all and one and I can't believe that you are gone.

Love to Pete and the children.

Sharon.
Our precious and beautiful sister,we will never forget how special you are,although we cannot see you, we still feel you close to us.You are loved and heartbreakingly missed by your devastated family.


Mum,
It is your little boy Tom. I cannot believe that you are no longer here with us. Nothing will ever be the same, or as good as it was without you around. Words will never describe the true pain I feel in my heart knowing that you will never be here to tuck me in at night or to take me to football. I just wish for you to always know that we will always care and love for you in our hearts, and you will be truly and deeply missed.
Your Son Tom xxx

Aunty Sharon
I can’t find the words to tell you what you meant to us all. You were the soul of the family, the laughter in our hearts and without you nothing will ever be the same. I will miss seeing you every day laughing as you walk through the door.
Aunty Sharon I will miss you so much, my heart is aching but I promise you that I will always be here. I’ve promised Tom I will take him to his football training and wave my arms at the side. Thank you for everything that you have done, for the person that you were and for all of you love.
Love you always and forever, Laura xxxxxxxxx

I didn't know Sharon...but every day as I get on my bike I remember her and pray for her and her family. This was a tragedy - and time will tell if it could have been an avoidable one. Let's hope this at least opens the eyes of drivers to the existence of the two-wheelers out there, although that will be little consolation to those of you who have lost someone so precious. My thoughts are with you all.

From a grateful patient...I was upset after clinic about 2 yrs ago and sharon took me in a room gave me a drink and kind and comforting words. 2 weeks ago i was in clinic again and she remembered me. i thanked her and told her how much i appreciated her being so lovely to me, and i'm so glad i did as it was to be the last time we met. the hospital has lost a truly caring professional.

Your life was taken away so young and so tragically, you touched the hearts of everyone who knew you. God bless you Sharon, and all of your family at this time. x

Mine and my family's hearts go out to you, all of Sharon's and her husband's family. We know first hand what it is like for you.
We lost our 25 year old son Anthony on 3rd July this year, hit by a van. He was an experienced, competent cyclist. I was with him, but not right there, I found out some 4 hours later, I will never forget that day. The driver is on bail. The tributes here echo those my son received. These were special people. Like you must be, we are suffering profound grief and shock. I just want to say, please do not think you are alone. I hope that might help in some small way. Sharon was obviously someone who gave of herself and was so much loved. That was true of our son too, we must be pround and cherish wonderful memories.

Dave Sue and Theresa Maynard.
