AN inquest has been opened into the death of an “adoring” mother-of-two who lost her life after a collision between a car and a van.
Healthcare worker Nicola Frost, 40, died following a collision involving her Suzuki Ignis and a Mercedes Sprinter van near Ramsey.
An inquest into the crash, which took place at around 6.45am on Saturday, December 11, opened at Essex Coroner’s Court, in Chelmsford, on Thursday.
In a statement, her heartbroken family paid tribute to a “devoted wife and adoring mum”.
They said: “On the morning of December 11, our darling Nicola was tragically taken from us in a collision on the A120 whilst on her way to work.
“She was a devoted wife to Michael, and a loving, adoring mum to her beloved Richard and Rhianna. Nicola was always there whenever anyone needed her and was a loyal and supportive friend to many.
“Nicola was passionate about her work as a healthcare assistant and to those that she lovingly cared for.”
A 37 year-old man, from Cambridgeshire, arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drink or drugs after the collision has been released under investigation.
