Family's tribute to 17-month-old Southowram girl who died following road traffic collision

Amelia-Rose Snell, aged 17 months, was involved in a collision with one vehicle on Trooper Lane, Bank Top at around 8.30am on September 28

Emergency services attended the scene and Amelia-Rose was taken to hospital but sadly died as a result of her injuries.

Amelia-Rose’s family have paid tribute to her.

Her mum Tanya said: “We all adored Amelia-Rose and she adored her family and her big sister Hailie-Mai. She would play for hours with her sat on the floor, laughing and playing.

"They would always watch Frozen 2 or Coco together and especially Alvin and the Chipmunks - that was Amelia-Rose’s first and favourite cartoon she watched.

“She also adored her baby sister Lexi-Jade - she would stand at the bottom of her Moses basket and hold her foot or stand at the top and smile at Lexi-Jade.

"We weren’t allowed to put Lexi-Jade down until Amelia-Rose stroked her hair.

“Amelia-rose was a cheeky, loving, little girl who would keep me and her dad and her family on our toes. There was never a day were Amelia-Rose wouldn’t be smiling or doing something mischievous.

“She loved everything to do with cars or bikes - the same as her dad and grandad. I'll never forget the day Amelia-Rose was playing on her ride-along bike and Hailie-Mai wanted to watch Frozen, Amelia-Rose noticed she changed the film so she got off her car, walked over and tapped Hailie-Mai on her head, did a cheeky laugh and gave her a cuddle.

“After that we nicked named her Mi Mi the boss baby, or as nana and grandad would call her ‘paper masher’ as she would always have paper in her hands.

“Amelia-Rose had her very own special bond with her sisters, me and her dad, grandad and nana, and her family.

“Our lives will never be the same without Amelia-Rose. She grew her angel wings too soon. She was and still is one in a million.

"She was loved by many and sadly missed by many. She will be deeply missed. She touched our hearts and filled it with lots of joy love and memories. Sleep tight princess, until we meet again.”
