A "BEAUTIFUL" mum has died and her eight-year-old daughter is still fighting for her life after a horrific crash in Dorset.
Chloe Lloyd, who lived locally, 28, was driving along the A35 dual carriageway when her car plunged into a nearby ditch on the A345 Upton Bypass in Poole, Dorset.
After her silver Vauxhall Astra crashed, once emergency services arrived, she was pronounced dead at the scene at around 8.50pm on Friday night.
Her daughter Lexi was airlifted to Southampton General Hospital and is in a critical condition.
Tributes have been paid to the "beautiful" mum, describing Chloe as the life of their life.
In a statement, Chloe's family said: "We are all absolutely heartbroken at the sudden loss of our beautiful Chloe and our sole focus at this time is to be with Lexi.
"We would ask for privacy at this very difficult time."
Police are investigating the crash and have asked may witnesses.
Sergeant Sarah Jones, from Dorset Police, said: "Our thoughts are with their family at this very difficult time.
"We are carrying out a full and thorough investigation into this collision and I am keen to hear from anyone who was travelling along this stretch of the dual carriageway at the relevant time and witnessed the collision or the Astra being driven immediately before.
