Her family has launched a crowdfunder to cover funeral expenses.

Laura’s sister Gina Sone-Demetrious has spoken to news website MyLondon and told them: “I’ll miss everything about Laura. Her smile, the way she laughs and even annoying her. I can’t believe that I’ll never see her again.

“You could never expect this to happen to your family, especially my older sister who I looked up to and who protected me. It’s so traumatic.”

The police investigation into Laura’s death continues. Detectives are keen to speak with the driver of a red Audi who was in the vicinity of the collision at the time it happened.
