A 'dearly loved' mother has died following a collision with a lorry.

Marina Moore, 33, of Chelmsford, was in the collision at 10.30am last Wednesday.

She was getting out of her black Vauxhall Zafira car on Foxhall Road, Steeple, Southminster, when a heavy goods vehicle collided with her.

She was taken to Addenbrookes Hospital, with life-threatening injuries and later died.

Her family have said: “Marina was a dearly loved wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend to everyone who knew her.

“Marina was a fulltime housewife and all her free time was spent caring for her family.

“The family have not made any arrangements at this stage regarding Marina’s funeral.

“All the family members and friends will greatly miss Marina very much.”

The investigation into the circumstances of the collision is continuing.
