The family of a woman killed in a crash involving two cars in Glasgow have said their lives “will never be the same without her”.

In a statement released through Police Scotland, her family said: “Chinenye was a wonderful, kind, intelligent young woman with a strong faith in God. She had a passion to succeed and whatever obstacles she faced were overcome.

“She was very family-orientated and always had time for everyone. Our lives will never be the same without her.”

Police said a 28-year-old woman driving one of the vehicles was arrested and released pending further inquiries.
