A mother and daughter were killed on the school run after a car mounted a pavement and smashed into a Jaguar car dealership.

Justyne Hulboj, 27, and Lena Czepczor, four, are believed to have been on their way to nursery at the time of the crash on Monday.

They were hit by a white Audi TTRS before it collided with a wall near a Jaguar Car dealership in Leeds.

Police said the Audi had been travelling in convoy with a grey BMW 135i before the tragedy unfolded at 8.30am.

Tributes have since been paid to the mother and daughter, with one handwritten note at the scene reading: “Yesterday heaven gained two angels.”

“Two beautiful souls taken so tragically. You will both be missed. RIP sleep tight” the tribute added.

Another called the crash “heartbreaking”, adding: “The little girl goes to my daughter’s school and sometimes she goes to breakfast club. She has been so sad about this.”
