'Loving' sisters died in fatal crash, family says

Sisters who died while on weekly walk were "two of the most loving, caring women you would ever meet", their family said.

Sandra and Sylvia - whose surnames and ages have not been confirmed - were hit by a blue Volkswagen Tiguan on Peppard Road in Caversham, Reading, shortly before 08:00 BST on Friday, police said.

The women, who were both grandmothers, died at the scene, near Cedarwood Crescent.

A 47-year-old woman from Reading, arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, was released under investigation, Thames Valley Police (TVP) said last week.

"It is such a tragedy that these two lives have been taken away and knowing they were taken whilst they were doing what they loved best - their morning walks. It just hits harder," a family statement, released by TVP on Tuesday, said.

"Every Friday morning, the sisters would go for a walk, down to the town and back home. But unfortunately this Friday was different.

"They were both healthy and full of life, with future plans. They both had holidays, adventures and were soon welcoming new additions, great grandchildren, to the family.

"They are and will forever be missed and loved more than ever by family and friends."
