A young woman has died following a head-on crash in mid Essex.

She has been identified as Clare Ekins, 23, of Church Road, Boreham.

The accident happened on Essex Regiment Way near Little Waltham, at 9.15am yesterday, and resulted in the road being closed for three hours.

They were taken to Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, but their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
