The family of an 18-year-old student who died in an e-bike crash at her university campus have paid tribute, remembering her as a ‘happy, beautiful and talented girl’.
Sophie Goode died following the incident at the University of Nottingham’s Park Campus in the early hours of Tuesday.
The Sport and Exercise Science undergraduate was rushed to hospital but declared dead there a short while later.
In a social media post, her sister Charlotte Goode wrote: ‘It is heartbreaking. She was going to watch the sunrise with her best friend.
‘She was loved by so many of us and she always will be. We were all so proud of her and continue to be.’
In a statement released on behalf of the family, they said: ‘Sophie was a happy, beautiful and talented girl who was loved by everyone who knew her.
‘When she wasn’t singing or dancing, she was planning which live music concerts to go to with her younger sister.
‘She really was the life and soul everywhere she went.
‘She just loved life, loved people and was surrounded by her soulmates at university, where she had quickly established herself as part of the Nottingham women’s cricket family.
‘She was determined to do whatever her mind was set on and was taken from us too soon.’
Earlier this week, a spokesperson for the university said it was a ‘deeply upsetting time’
‘We will continue to provide support to our community as we process the weight of this loss,’ they added.
