I survived the horror crash which killed my twin sister, 18, days before Xmas – I’m mortified & heartbroken
A WOMAN has been left heartbroken after her twin sister was killed in a car crash just days before Christmas.
Chloe Pearson, 18, was a passenger in a white Citroen C3 that was involved in a collision with a black Mercedes-Benz CLK on the A426 in Leicestershire, on the night of December 15.
Chloe, from Castleford in West Yorkshire, was taken to hospital but died as a result of her injuries two days later.
Her twin sister Abigale Pearson was also in the car when the collision occurred.
She was taken to hospital with serious injuries but has since been discharged.
In a tribute to her sister, Abigale said: “The most devastating thing is that I came out of this incident without my twin sister.
"I’m absolutely mortified and heartbroken that I’ve no longer got her by my side. Rest in peace beautiful, until we meet again.”
Her grandmother, Elizabeth Pearson, added: “Chloe was caring, beautiful and so full of life. She had just started her nursing career.
";It is so numbing; we are all in shock. The family has been ripped apart. We are all mourning together. Castleford is mourning.”
Abigale also said in an emotional tribute posted on Facebook: "Words can’t describe how much I miss you Chloe, life's never going to be same without you.
