THE family of a woman who died in a car smash have paid tribute to the “inspiring writer” whose “smile brightened up a whole room”.

Shejuti Pasha, 32, was killed in the crash in the Staffordshire town of Newcastle-under-Lyme on September 25.

She was a passenger in a silver Toyota Icon which hit the railings on Knutton High Street just before 10.30pm.

Shejuti was rushed to hospital but died from her injuries despite medics’ best efforts.

Paying tribute, her family said: “Shejuti was pursuing her dream of becoming a famous writer before she passed away.

“She was an inspiring writer who had so much to give in this world -she was one of the most determined people there ever was.

“Her smile could brighten up a whole room and her intelligence was a sight to behold. We will all miss her dearly.”

The driver and a second passenger from the car were not injured, cops said.

A 22-year-old man from the area was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drink driving.

He has been released on conditional police bail while cops probe the horror.
