By Deborah Bowyer 24th Feb 2026
Flowers have been laid paying tribute to a serving police officer killed in a crash.
PC Alice Mayo died on Saturday, February 7, following a crash on the A534 Spark Lane, near the junction of Moorhead Lane, in Arclid.
Now flowers have been laid at the spot near the junction of Moorhead Lane on the A534 Spark Lane.
Congleton resident Alice was off-duty at the time and was driving a blue Fiat 500 when it collided with a white Land Rover Defender.
The 29-year-old, an officer from Macclesfield BEAT team who has served with Cheshire Constabulary for more than six years, died at the scene.
Alice's family said she was "beautiful inside and out" and would leave a huge hole in their lives and a legacy of laughter, fun and sunshine as we revealed here .
A 77-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of causing a death by dangerous driving has since been released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.
Enquiries in relation to the crash are ongoing.
Anyone with any information or footage which may aid the investigation is urged to get in touch, either online at www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us, or by calling 101, quoting IML-2266170.
Cheshire Police's Chief Constable Mark Roberts said: "This was a tragic incident, and my thoughts are with Alice's family, friends, and colleagues at this difficult time.
"I want to pay tribute to our professional and courageous colleague. She was a dedicated professional who will be missed by all those who knew her.
"We are supporting Alice's family and colleagues at this extremely difficult time.
"I would ask that people do not speculate about the collision and the circumstances around it. Please let our experienced and professional investigators carry out their work."
Cheshire Police's Chief Constable Mark Roberts and Dan Price, Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, are among those who paid tribute to Alice.
