Sophie Goode died following the incident at the University of Nottingham’s Park Campus in the early hours of Tuesday.
The Sport and Exercise Science undergraduate was rushed to hospital but declared dead there a short while later.
In a social media post, her sister Charlotte Goode wrote: ‘It is heartbreaking. She was going to watch the sunrise with her best friend.
‘She was loved by so many of us and she always will be. We were all so proud of her and continue to be.’
In a statement released on behalf of the family, they said: ‘Sophie was a happy, beautiful and talented girl who was loved by everyone who knew her.
‘When she wasn’t singing or dancing, she was planning which live music concerts to go to with her younger sister.
‘She really was the life and soul everywhere she went.
‘She just loved life, loved people and was surrounded by her soulmates at university, where she had quickly established herself as part of the Nottingham women’s cricket family.
‘She was determined to do whatever her mind was set on and was taken from us too soon.’
Detective Sergeant Paul Clark said previously: ‘This is a tragic incident that I know will come as a shock to all who knew and loved the victim.
‘Our thoughts are with her family at this very difficult time.’
A University of Nottingham spokesperson said: ‘It is with great sadness that we confirm the death of one of our students on University Park campus in the early hours of Tuesday morning in a road traffic incident.
‘This is a deeply upsetting time and all of our thoughts are with friends, family, and loved ones.
‘We will continue to provide support to our community as we process the weight of this loss.’
