A YOUNG South Yorkshire mum died and four others were injured when a van came off the road and crashed into a South Yorkshire pub.
The crash happened at 3.40am on Saturday on the B6089 Stubbin Road in Low Stubbin, Rawmarsh, towards West Melton.
Hannah Jane Lloyd, aged 23, from Edlington, Doncaster, was a passenger in the white Ford Transit van and officers investigating the crash say the cause of her death is not yet known.
A statement from her family said today: "The light has gone out of our lives. We've lost a beautiful loving daughter and sister as well as Hannah's daughter who has lost her beautiful loving mummy and best friend.
"Our lives will never be the same and we will miss her happy smiling face.
"We will miss you always and forever. Our beautiful loving Hannah who has gone but who will never be forgotten."
Two men arrested following the crash have been released on police bail.
The post-mortem examination has yet to take place and police are still appealing for witnesses to the collision.
A police spokesman said: "The vehicle left the carriageway before hitting the Marquis pub and rebounding into the road near the junction with Wentworth Road."
Four other women passengers, who were all from the Barnsley area and aged in their 20s and 30s, received minor injuries.
The road was closed as police carried out their investigation and it reopened around 8.30am.
A 23-year-old Barnsley driver and a man from Dinnington, aged 19, were both arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Floral tributes left at the scene of the tragedy paid tribute to Hannah.
One reads: "Sleep tight Hannah. You will be missed and live on through your beauty."
Another says: "We're so sorry you have gone. You will be missed so dearly and never forgotten."
And one friend writes: "If only I could turn back time. I will miss you lots and never forget the good times we had."
