Woman arrested over death of schoolgirl and stepdad

A WOMAN has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following a horror crash on a Hampshire road.
The 73-year-old was arrested yesterday following a collision on the A326 in which an 11-year-old girl and her step dad died.
She has been bailed until October 24 pending further enquiries.
Channon Kevern and 29-year-old Terry Stubbs were both travelling on a motorbike when the tragedy unfolded near the Hardley roundabout on Saturday.
The driver of the Toyota Corolla involved in the collision, was taken to Southampton General Hospital and later discharged.
Meanwhile the family of Channon and Terry have paid a moving tribute to the pair, describing the youngster as "a special girl who lived life to the full."
Those are the words of the distraught family of 11-year-old Channon Kevern and her step-dad Terry Stubbs who both died in a bank holiday weekend tragedy.
The pair were on a motorbike when the vehicle collided with a car on a busy stretch of the A326 near Dibden Purlieu. They both died at the scene.
Today their loved ones have told how fun-loving Channon would do anything for her friends and relatives and said how much Terry would be missed.
Speaking to the Daily Echo, Channon's mum Nicol said her "beautiful girl" meant the world to her.
We invite readers to use the comment section below to leave their condolences
In a joint statement, the family said: "Channon will be sadly missed by her mother Nicol, brother Adam and grandparents Linda and Graham and all that knew her.
"She was a very special girl who would stop at nothing to live life to the full. She loved her family and her friends very much.
"She was a beautiful girl - so full of life and love. Goodnight my baby girl. Rest In Peace our darling, we love you so much.
"Terry, who died with Channon, will be missed by us all - especially his son Adam. Please Terry look after my baby girl."
At the scene of the double fatality - south of the Beaulieu Road roundabout - grief stricken friends and relatives have been leaving flowers and gifts by the roadside.
Messages paid tribute to 29-year-old roofer Terry, who was driving the Suzuki motorbike when the accident occurred.
Cuddly toys, cards and flowers were also left for Channon, who had just finished her final year at Cadland Primary and was set to join Hardley Secondary School in September.
One card, written by a pal, read: "Channon, you were my best friend and I will never forget you."
The horror of Saturday morning's crash sent shock waves through the Fawley community where the family live.
And the out-pouring of grief was followed by calls for the safety of the busy A326 - dubbed Hampshire's busiest cul-de-sac - to be re-examined.
As reported in yesterday's Daily Echo, one New Forest District councillor called for a dual carriageway to be introduced.
Police are still appealing for a key witness to the incident to come forward. They say a lorry driver saw the accident take place and are urging him to make contact.
Anyone with information should contact police on 0845 045 4545.

'Skyline' if you make remarks about people not making negative comments on here, there's only one thing that's going to happen. Its an open forum and some people will write nonsense, just ignore it. Reacting to these people gives them what they want.

I've known the Kevern family for many years, even before we all moved to Southampton and you are all lovely people. Am so sorry that this has happened to you all. Channon was a beautiful girl and her beautiful soul will live on within you all! Didn't know Terry or his family but pass the same love & condolences to them! All our love, we are thinking of you all.

Perhaps someone close to the family would like to set up a blog where people can leave condolences? They're simple enough to start and also whoever did so would have the benefit of being able to moderate comments themselves

That they are dead. they are just away.
With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,
they have wandered into an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be since they linger there.
And you-O you, who the wildest yearn
For the old-time step and the glad return-
Think of them faring on, as dear
In the love of there as the love of here;
Think of them still as the same, I say;
they are not dead-they are just away!"
Deepest sympathy to all family and friends

Eleven summers
Now shes gone.
Eleven summers
She danced every one
So when the winds blow, on the coldest of nights
Shell warm you
Till the night releases you,
Shell lay with you
Whilst the smallest of hours test you,
shell sing for you.
And when again you smile
shell dance for you.
Eleven summers
Now shes gone.
Eleven summers
She danced every one

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. When you need to talk to someone, you could try phoning the Child Death Helpline (details at www.childdeathhelpli
ne.org.uk). I found them comforting to talk to last year following the death of my youngest daughter. I know the pain is unbearable at the moment, but it will gradually ease with time and allow you to cherish the happy memories you have.
R.I.P. Channon & Terry.
