'The life and soul of the party' - heartfelt tributes to Bethany Fisher

Heartbroken friends have paid tribute to a teenager who was tragically killed in a car crash while out celebrating her birthday.

Bethany Fisher was fatally injured when the Ford Mondeo she was in hit several parked vehicles on Victoria Terrace, Bedlington, on August 19.

Childhood friend Sophia Chisholm described the 19-year-old as having a bubbly personality who always kept a smile on everyone’s faces.

Sophia, 16, said: “We were like a married couple at work. We would bicker about little stupid things and wind each other up but we were the closest. She was like my best friend.

“She text me and my friend Cheryl the day before she died telling us how much she loved us and she said we made her feel like we were all a little family.

“Unfortunately a member of our little family has been taken away from us but she has left a big mark on my life.”
