Tributes have been paid to a teacher who died alongside her 14-year-old pupil when the minibus they were in collided with a lorry on the M58.

Mother-of-two Anne Kerr, 50, from Southport, died in the horror smash between Junctions 3 and 4 of the motorway near Wigan at 8.45am on Tuesday. 

The 50-year-old died alongside a teenager who was a special needs pupil at Pontville School, in Ormskirk, West Lancashire.

Police confirmed a 31-year-old man driving a lorry was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has since been released under investigating pending further enquiries.

A woman and 14-year-old boy have died after a lorry and a minibus crashed with several other vehicles on the M58 near Wigan on Tuesday morning  

In a statement Mrs Kerr's family said: 'Anne was much loved by all who knew her. She will be deeply missed by all her friends and family.

'She was a daughter, wife, and mum to two lovely boys. She was a lovely personality to be around. Her death has left us all heartbroken.'

Pontville School is a special education needs facility which caters for children with specific therapeutic, care and behaviour needs. 

Headteacher Justine Sims said: 'Our hearts are filled with sadness as we grieve the tragic loss of Anne Kerr. Anne was a caring member of staff who went out of her way to support the young people at Pontville.

'We have been inundated with condolence wishes from our families and pupils, including those involved in the incident.

'Our thoughts and sympathies are with Anne's family.'

She added: 'We are deeply shocked to learn of the terrible accident that took place yesterday involving a minibus carrying a number of our young people and staff. 

'Our thoughts and sympathies are with the families of the deceased at this sad time.

'Our overriding priority is to provide help and support to classmates, colleagues and families of those involved in the accident as best we can.

'It would not be appropriate for us to comment further at this stage.'

Two crashes took place on the same stretch of motorway in quick succession yesterday. 

The first crash, which killed Mrs Kerr, happened at around 9am close to junction 3 of the M58 westbound at Bickerstaffe and involved an HGV, a minibus and a number of other vehicles. 

A number of other people also suffered serious injuries and are being treated at hospital.

The driver of the HGV, a 31-year-old man from Chorley, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. 

He has since been released under investigating pending further enquiries.

A second collision took place at around 10.10am in the queuing traffic involving an HGV, a van and two cars. 

A woman and two men suffered serious injuries. They remain in Aintree Hospital receiving treatment.

'We need anyone who saw either of the collisions but hasn't spoken to us already to come forward. You may have vital information to assist our investigation.'

'We are in full co-operation with the police and authorities and will give them our full support.

'Our main concern at this stage is for those involved in the crash.'

She said: 'All I can tell you is I saw the cars slowing down and as I got there and there was a white van that had fallen down in to the ditch.

'It looked very serious. I've never seen anything like it in my life.

'The air ambulances were flying around. I've never witnessed anything like this before.'

Two air ambulances, four land ambulances, police and fire engines were all in attendance following the crash between junctions 3 and 4 of the M58 near Wigan just after 8.45am

The 50...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
