POLICE are continuing to ascertain the cause of a fatal road crash on the A12. 

The collision happened near Marks Tey when the woman was struck by a white Toyota Auris on the southbound carriageway at 1am on Saturday.

The 29-year-old woman from the Romford area was certified dead at the scene.

The 44-year-old female car driver, who lives in the Marks Tey area, was treated for shock by paramedics at the scene.

An Essex Police spokesman said: "We believe the woman walked off from a white Seat Ibiza that she had been travelling in. Its driver had stopped in a layby. We’re looking to speak with those motorists who saw this woman on the side of the A12 or actually in the road.”

A section of the carriageway was closed until 8am on Saturday while forensic collision investigators carried out their enquiries.
