Three others in the car at the time of the crash were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

It is not yet known whether they remain in police custody this morning.

Posting on Facebook, one friend said: 'They always say they take the best first and they surely do. So many memories that I'll treasure. You'll be missed so much by many Mace.

'Can't imagine what your family is going through. Never ever thought I'd be writing this. Just can't believe you're actually gone. Truly is devastating. Such a cruel world, gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace you beautiful girl. Love you long time.'
