This is Staffordshire --A TEENAGER has died in hospital four days after being involved in a car crash.
Eighteen-year-old Stacey Wright, of Deans Lane, Sandbach, had been at Wythenshawe Hospital since August 5 after her blue Fiat car collided with a silver Subaru.
She was travelling along the A50 Holmes Chapel Road, at Over Peover, at around 5pm when the accident happened and was taken to hospital by air ambulance.
But Stacey, pictured right, died from her injuries on Friday.
Now Stacey's family and friends have paid tribute to the popular and 'gorgeous' girl.
In a statement released by Cheshire Police, Stacey's family said: "Stacey was the best daughter and friend. She never saw the bad in anyone and always had a smile on her face.
"She brightened up everyone's life and had many friends. She is irreplaceable.
