A passenger who died in a single-car crash was a "happy-go-lucky" woman, her family has said.
Kim Bainbridge, 51, from Totton, Hampshire, was travelling in a BMW 3 series that crashed in Mountbatten Way, Southampton, on 30 June. She died at the scene. The driver, a 32-year-old man from Totton, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. Ms Bainbridge's family said her three sons were "heartbroken".
