Tributes have been paid to a ‘beloved’ dancer, choreographer and model, who was killed in a motorcycle crash in London.
Lousha Liddell was riding pillion on a motorbike when it was involved in a crash with a car on January 3.
The Metropolitan Police said the 25-year-old was airlifted to hospital but died soon after. The driver of the car has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving.
Now, tributes have been paid to the young woman who was described as a ‘hip-hop luminary’ and a ‘beacon of inspiration’, while a gofundme page has been launched in her name.

Paying tribute to her on the gofundme, her friend Chilli Sanders said: ‘In the vibrant world of dance, Lousha was a hip-hop luminary—a 25-year-old dance choreographer and creative director whose artistry transcended the boundaries of movement.
‘With boundless energy, infectious passion, and an innate ability to fuse different dance styles, Lousha had become a beacon of inspiration for those fortunate enough to witness her creations.’
All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to Lousha’s mother and father to put towards her ‘celebration of life.’

Lousha started dancing at a young age and has been described as a ‘natural talent’, whose choreography was not merely a ‘sequence of steps’, but a ‘storytelling medium’ that spoke of ‘love, resilience, and the universal human experience.’
Ms Sanders went on: ‘On 3rd January riding pillion in Garratt Lane SW London on a motorbike tragedy struck.
‘A drug-impaired driver careened into Lousha’s path, shattering the rhythm of her life. Airlifted to the St Georges hospital, she fought valiantly against the cruel hands of fate, surrounded by the hum of machines and the hushed prayers of those who cherished her.’
The rider of the bike, a man in his 40s, was also taken to hospital. His condition is currently unknown.
