The families of the two teenagers who died in a collision involving a car and coach on the A66 in Cumbria on Monday today paid tribute to the tragic loss of two lives.

A spokesperson for 15-yr-old Kieran Goulding's family said: "Kieran was kind and caring, loving and sharing, which was the meaning of his name. He was a fun-loving boy, full of life and lived life to the full. He was loved by all."

16-yr-old Chloe Walker’s Mam and Dad, Sharon and John Walker, said: “Chloe was a fantastic daughter. She was vibrant, beautiful, talented and a very witty young lady. We were so proud of her and she tried so hard at school where she meant the world to so many and they will miss her dearly.

“She was creative, artistic and stood out in a crowd. Her multi-tasking was second to none; she could email, text, revise and watch the tele at the same time and still manage to convince her Mam she was not on Facebook, but doing revision.

"She had everything to live for, her life was just beginning, her cheeky smile just melted your heart - she got away with murder.

"'Just a minute' or 'wait there' were just two of her favourite sayings and the minutes turned into hours and still nothing done.

"Her bedroom floor was her favourite wardrobe and her bathroom was self-cleaning, or so she thought, but with a cheeky wink and an 'alright Pal' it was easy sorted.

"If she was preparing to go out her make-up, hair and clothes had to be meticulous and she always looked stunning

"How could someone so precious and loved so dearly be taken away so young and on her birthday?"

"We’re sure you will be holding Jordan close and he will be getting those lovely hugs and kisses on the head that Mam and Dad are missing."
