THE three people killed in a car crash near Pershore were all loving parents, members of their families have said in emotional tributes.

Luke Morris, aged 22, and his 24-year-old partner Elizabeth Stanley, both from Kidderminster, died when the car he was driving came off the B4084 and hit a tree at Avon Bank, close to Pershore Agricultural College, at 12.35am on Saturday.

Mr Morris’s sister Becky Townsend, 26, of Wick, near Pershore, was also killed, while her husband Craig is currently in a “critical but stable” condition with multiple injuries at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Yesterday their families said “no words could describe” the devastation they are feeling .

Mr Morris and Miss Stanley leave a three-year-old daughter Ella, while she also had a son from a previous relationship, six-year-old Wyatt Stanley.

Members of Miss Stanley’s family, including her father Dean, stepmother Michele, mother Charmaine and her four brothers described her as “bubbly girl and a loving daughter”.

“Her life was dedicated to her children and she and Luke loved spending days out with them,” they said. “They also spent many happy hours with Becky and Craig.

"She was always doing something different, willing to give anything a try. She loved to sing and had a beautiful voice. She also loved animals, particularly her two dogs.”

Mrs Townsend had two children from a previous relationship, James, six, and Aimee, four.

She and Mr Morris leave behind father Paul Morris, stepmother Lucy Morris, mum Josephine Platt and stepfather Lee Platt.

They spoke of their “devastation” at the tragedy.

“Luke and Becky were inseparable from an early age. They were always there for each other.

"We are all very proud of them and nobody had a bad word to say about either of them,” they said.

Both went to St Ambrose Catholic Primary School, in Kidderminster, before moving on to Wolverley CE Secondary School.

Mrs Townsend was a carer and Mr Morris worked as an electrician for Powertest.

Both were “dedicated to their children, who they loved dearly”.

Their father Paul added: “The proudest day of my life was when I gave Becky away on her wedding day. She looked so beautiful.”

Police are continuing to investigate and are asking witnesses or anyone with information to call 101, quoting incident number 20S/090612.
