Tributes are pouring in for a policewoman who was killed after being hit by HGV on a motorway in the early hours of this morning.
Greater Manchester Police Special Constable Samantha Derbyshire, 23, died on the M61 after getting out of her car on the busy stretch of road.
She was trying to assess damage to her Ford Fiesta after a minor collision with the central reservation barrier - where it had apparently got stuck - at around 3.30am.
SC Derbyshire had only been working with GMP Specials since January last year - and she had been recently been accepted to join full-time constable later this year.
Chief Inspector Mike Walmsley of GMP's Special Constabulary said: "All of Sam's colleagues are devastated by the loss of such a happy, dedicated and positive member of the Bolton team and GMP Special Constabulary."
The incident happened between junction 4 for Farnworth and junction 5 for Westhoughton.
