The families of two young girls who were killed in a car crash have spoken of their heartbreak.

Mariah Hussein, 16, and Kiara O’Lisa, 13, were passengers in a Vauxhall Corsa when it was involved in a collision with a Ford Fiesta on Mother's Day, last weekend.

Both girls, from the Manchester area, sadly died at the scene.

Mariah’s family paid tribute to their daughter who was "full of life".

In a statement released through Cheshire Police, they said: "Mariah was a beautiful young girl full of life, she had so much to live for we can’t begin to explain how heartbroken we are as her parents losing our beautiful baby.

"As mother and father we are shattered and feel helpless but pray that our beautiful girl is at peace and have no choice but to accept this was the will of god. Mummy and daddy love you Mariah until we meet again my princess.”

Kiara’s family described her as being "wise beyond her years".

They said: "Our beautiful Kiara was a very smart girl, wise beyond her years. Her smile could light up the darkest rooms. She was very outgoing and had lots and lots of friends.

"We will miss her infectious smile. Her cheekiness would drive us mad but also make us happy at the same time. We are at a loss at what to do. We are heartbroken and will miss our beautiful Kiara eternally."
