A 41-year-old former estate agent has died following a car crash in west London that also killed her three dogs.
Olivia Riley, from Suffolk, died on Saturday following the collision. Police said it appeared she was walking her three golden retrievers at the time of the incident.
The driver of the car, a 26-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and taken into custody.
Officers and paramedics were called to Cheyne Walk in Chelsea at 6.21am on Saturday to reports of a collision involving a pedestrian, animals and an Audi.
The woman was found dead at the scene, while a golden retriever and two labradors also died as a result of injuries, according to police.
Riley worked as a senior sales negotiator for Jackson-Stops in Norwich from 2006 to 2012, having previously worked for the company from 2006-2007.
Caroline Culot, marketing manager for estate agents Brown & Co, told the press: “The tragic news about Olivia will hit all those in the industry.
“I remember Olivia for being so enthusiastic, ambitious and hard working.
“She was so much fun to work with and made visits to new constructions an absolute joy.
“She will be missed by all those in Norwich who were lucky enough to meet her. She had a wonderful sense of fun, an infectious laugh and a real passion for property.”
Her uncle Mark Riley told MailOnline that her death “was something that is impossible to comprehend”.
“Nobody should have to go through that at all. As an individual, you just could not hope to ever meet anybody who could be so joyful, full of life and considerate of others.”
“She had an infectious sense of humour and was a confidante for all the family members. This void is never going to be filled apart from all the fantastic memories. She was very exceptional and was fantastic to be around.”
Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to call 101 quoting CAD 1500/14May.
