Tributes to Carrick road crash victim
East Antrim MLA Stewart Dickson, who knew Ms Steele’s family, said the 53-year-old was a ‘very caring’ person.
“She was a cardiac nurse and had recently returned from England to care for her mother,” Mr Dickson said. “Only a few weeks ago, she came to speak at Greenisland Presbyterian Church about volunteer work she had been doing among heart patients in Nigeria.

“My thoughts are with her family and friends; they have my sympathies at this very difficult time.”
Speaking about the incident on Wednesday, Chief Inspector Natalie Wilson said: “Shortly before 8pm, a collision occurred between a green Suzuki Ingis and a black Seat Leon.
