The family of a Center Parcs worker who was killed when she was hit by an electric vehicle driven by another member of staff have paid tribute to her.

Penny Bulpitt, aged 67, from Luton, was on a pedal bike when she was involved in a collision with an electric all-terrain vehicle at ten past midday on Friday (22 September) at Center Parcs Woburn Forest.

Emergency services attended and she was taken to hospital, where she  died the following day.

Paying tribute to her,  her family said ‘she was loved by everyone who knew her’.

Officers are appealing for witnesses as they continue their investigation into the incident.

Detective Sergeant Craig Wheeler, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This was a tragic incident, and our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of the victim.

“Both people involved in the incident were staff at the site, and we are working with Center Parcs directly. However we know that Friday was a changeover day so the site would have been busy and we would encourage anyone who was on the site at the time, and particularly in the Pine area to come forward with anything they may have witnessed.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police via our online reporting tool or call 101 , quoting Operation Latymer.
