The family of a woman who died when she was hit by a motorcycle on the Wolverhampton Road in Oldbury have paid tribute to their much loved mother and grandmother.

Bernice Evans, age 70, was crossing the road near Birchley Island, with two family members, at around 8.35pm on 10 April, when she was knocked down. Her family said:

“Our beautiful mother and grandmother was taken so suddenly and tragically and definitely too soon. It’s left a huge hole in our family but Bernice Evans will never be forgotten by her family and friends.

"It’s one of the hardest things we have had to go through as a family, but her memories will forever live on in our hearts."

Inspector Stephen Radford, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, added:

“I am appealing for any witnesses of this collision to come forward, particularly if anyone has any dash-cam footage. We spoke with two motorcyclists at the scene and they are both helping police with enquiries."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police via Live Chat at west-midlands.police.uk (between 8am and midnight) or call 101 anytime quoting log 2505 of 10 April.
