The parents of a Boston girl who died after a crash between a pedestrian and a lorry said they are devastated by her death.
Grace Brockelsby, 19, was killed as a result of the incident north east of the town on June 5, leaving all who knew her devastated.
A cause of death has yet to be determined with an inquest still to be held, but the teen's father, Lee Brockelsby, said his daughter did struggle with her mental health.
Her death has left an empty hole in his heart, but the 44-year-old, also from Boston, said he hopes her suffering is finally at an end.

He said: 'I'm in bits - we all are. The only thing keeping us going is telling ourselves Grace is where she wants to be.
'All I want is for her to be happy and if our sadness is what it takes then I am willing to carry that burden knowing my first born is finally happy.'
Despite Grace living with her mother, she still spoke with her father and siblings, Ambie and Summer when she could, and had an incredibly tight relationship with her grandmother Rita.
