The cyclist who crashed over the weekend in Timaru before dying in hospital was a partner at local law firm, Gresson Dorman & Co.
Jane Walsh was riding a bicycle in the early hours of Sunday when she crashed and suffered serious head injuries before being taken to the intensivecare unit in Timaru.
Gresson Dorman & Co's crown solicitor Andrew McRae told Stuff she was a "valued colleague and an exceptional lawyer".
"The staff and partners of Gresson Dorman & Co are deeply saddened by her death.
"Her leadership, vibrancy and caring nature inspired all of those around her," McRae said.
The 37-year-old will be remembered as a wife, mother, daughter and sister.
"Jane was a much loved and treasured wife, mother, daughter, and sister. We ask for privacy at this very difficult time," her family said in a statement today, Stuff reports.
The Serious Crash Unit had completed a scene examination and the police will continue to make inquiries on behalf of the coroner.
