Very sad news
All our thought's go to Carl and his family.....
----------------------------------------------------------- From the EDP - www.edp24.co.uk Motor ace's sister dies after crash BETH MANNING December 10, 2002 08:00 One of Britain's most promising motor racing stars was last night mourning the death of his “number one fan” – his 18-year-old sister. Sarah Breeze, whose brother Carl, 23, is a British Touring Car driver, died after a road accident in West Norfolk on Friday. The marketing assistant was travelling from work when her Vauxhall Corsa was involved in a three-car collision at 5.15pm on the King's Lynn road at Castle Rising, only a mile from the family home at South Wootton. Her father Colin, 48, was also on his way home when he was passed by the ambulance carrying her to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital at Lynn. Sarah, a former student at King Edward VII School (KES) at Lynn, died of multiple injuries, with her family around her. Carl Breeze has been tipped as a potential Formula One star and already has many titles and trophies to his name, including a record-winning first place in the Formula Renault Championships in 2001. On his website profile, he rates as the most important people in his life “dad Colin, mum Christine and sister Sarah who have always been so determined to see me reach the top”. Sarah's mother, Christine, 44, said yesterday that the close-knit family had been devastated by her death. “We were just so close. There was never a family that was as close as we were,” said Mrs Breeze at the family home in Little Walsingham Close. “Sarah was Carl's number one fan – she followed him everywhere. We just don't know how we are going to carry on.” Sarah was on her way home from work in the marketing department of Foster Refrigerator, on Lynn's Hardwick Industrial Estate, when the crash happened. She had been working there for four months as part of a gap year after successfully completing her A-level business studies course at KES in the summer. Mr Breeze, who works as quality assurance manager at Fosters, said he saw Sarah every day and was “proud but embarrassed” at the many compliments paid to his hard-working daughter. “They said: 'She's only 18 but she's so grown up.' No one had a bad word to say about her,” he said. The family bond led to Sarah's decision to stay in Lynn while many of her school friends went to university. She had never missed any of her brother's meetings and insisted on following him wherever he raced, travelling with the rest of the family to support him in Britain, Europe and New Zealand. Mrs Breeze, a code controller at Sainsbury's in Lynn, described Sarah as a “beautiful, intelligent and confident” girl, who did not let her popularity go to her head. Sarah had encouraged her mum to go late-night Christmas shopping on Thursday evening. “We went shopping and Sarah picked things out. When we came home, she said: 'Let's go upstairs and wrap them.' Before I knew it, we were finished,” she recalled. Sarah's manager at Fosters, Mandy Suiter, said yesterday that colleagues had not come to terms with the tragedy. “She was a lovely girl, really happy and really cheerful. She brightened up the office. She enjoyed whatever she was given to do and got stuck into it,” she said. Mr Breeze yesterday collected from the crash site two handwritten letters laid by Sarah's former schoolfriends. “She touched people's lives so quickly. She was perfect,” he said. Police last night named the other drivers whose cars were involved in the crash. Angus Russell Campbell-Cann, 37, of York Road, Lynn, driving a Volvo, suffered leg and chest injuries, and Paul Myhill, 35, of Blackfriars Road, Lynn, driving a Ford Fiesta, escaped without injury.
