At least six police officers have had hospital treatment after diving into a river just after a car crash in which a young woman died.
The victim was named locally as mother-of-one Namara Whisker, and is said to have given birth to a boy two months ago.
The other four occupants of the car survived the incident in the River Avon in Bristol.
Floral bouquets tonight marked the scene next to where the vehicle plunged into the river in the early hours of Saturday.
Ms Whisker was described as "a bubbly, lively" woman who was "the kindest person you could ever meet".
She was believed to be the front-seat passenger when the car, containing friends, left a bridge just off Passage Street in the centre of Bristol.
School friend Shawnika Sergeant, 22, said the pair had become close while studying at the then-Speedwell Technical College in Bristol.
Miss Sergeant said: "She was so pretty, bubbly and a special girl.
"I could not believe it when people started texting me this morning.
"I have known her for so long, it is hard to take."
Another woman, who arrived to pay tribute at a makeshift shrine next to the river, said she was with Ms Whisker in a Bristol nightclub until minutes before the crash happened.
The woman, who asked not to be named but said she was a distant relative, said: "We saw each other in the club, we gave each other a hug.
"I am so glad I had the chance to do that now, because I realise it was goodbye."
Another friend said Ms Whisker was a guest at her five-year-old son's Christening.
She added: "Namara has a two-month-old son, I can't believe he is going to grow up without his mummy."
Shattered glass marked the scene after the crash, with a temporary barrier in place to cover the missing section of iron railing.
Two of those rescued, a man and a woman, are helping police with their inquiries. Two other women are being interviewed as witnesses.
Inspector Paul Winship of Avon and Somerset Police said: "At least six police officers dived into the river to effect a rescue. They rescued one male and one female.
"We are obviously appealing for witnesses. It's a very busy part of Bristol even at 4 o'clock on a Saturday morning ... we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident."
