In a statement today, Rebecca's family said: "Rebecca lived life to the full; she was bright and funny with a wonderful future to look forward to. We are totally devastated by her loss."
Sgt Paul Hughes from the force's Collision Investigation Unit, urged witnesses to come forward.
He said: "This is a tragic incident which has left a young member of the local community dead and another critically ill in hospital. I have been overwhelmed by the number of witnesses that have come forward so far but continue to appeal for the public's help.
"I know the vehicle involved, a red Mitsubishi, travelled along the A4123 Wolverhampton Road before turning onto Hagley Road West, and may have been travelling with another dark-coloured vehicle, possibly a BMW. If anyone saw these vehicles then I would ask them to contact me or my team.
"It's important for the investigation and the families that we piece together all the events and I can only do this with the public's help."
