Two women killed in a horror crash on the M4 have been named as mother and daughter.

The pair were pronounced dead after a lorry overturned on their car on the motorway near Chippenham shortly after 9am on Friday 20 October.

Wiltshire Police has named 61-year-old Cheryl Woods and 40-year-old Sarha Smith – a mother-of-six from Caerphilly in Wales.

In a tribute, their family wrote: “Cheryl Woods, cherished by those in her life, fulfilled the roles of a loving mother, doting grandmother, cherished sister, and a dear friend.

“Her selflessness was a defining trait, consistently prioritising her family’s well-being over her own, and she took immense pride in her Welsh heritage while nurturing a deep love for nature.

“Sarha Smith, in the footsteps of her mother, unselfishly devoted herself to her family’s needs ahead of her own.

“She was not only a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, but her absence leaves a void for those who relied on her radiant presence.

“Her legacy lives on through her six daughters, who will forever hold her memory close and strive to honour her with their efforts.”
