The family of a teenager who died in a crash near Burford released a tribute to her today.

Laura Bradley, 19, of Carterton, died after her Ford Ka was involved in a collision with an Iveco van on the A424 on Friday.

In a statement issued through Thames Valley Police this afternoon, her parents Jayne and Michael, brother Paul and sister Hannah, said: "Laura was our beautiful, vibrant and gorgeous girl who bought sheer joy and happiness to all who knew her.

"We'll never forget the love, laughter and delight she gave to us and her friends, and we will all love and cherish her forever.

"We can't imagine life without our beautiful daughter and sister, and our love for her will remain in our hearts forever."
