The family of a student who died after an e-bike crash have described her as a “happy, beautiful and talented girl who was loved by everyone who knew her”.
Sophie Goode, 18, was cycling near the University of Nottingham in the early hours of Tuesday morning when she was involved in a crash.
She was taken to hospital but died shortly after.
Ms Goode was studying sport and exercise science and was part of her university women’s cricket team, her family said.
Paying tribute to her, they said: “Sophie was a happy, beautiful and talented girl who was loved by everyone who knew her.
“When she wasn’t singing or dancing, she was planning which live music concerts to go to with her younger sister.
“She really was the life and soul everywhere she went. She just loved life, loved people and was surrounded by her soulmates at university, where she had quickly established herself as part of the Nottingham women’s cricket family.
“She was determined to do whatever her mind was set on and was taken from us too soon.”

The circumstances of her death are still being investigated, Nottinghamshire Police said.
Detective Sergeant Paul Clark said earlier in the week: “This is a tragic incident that I know will come as a shock to all who knew and loved the victim.”
He added that the force is working to “understand the sequence of events that led to this young woman’s tragic and untimely death”.
“As that work continues our thoughts are with her family at this very difficult time,” he said.
