The parents of a young woman who was killed just weeks before she was due to do a bungee jump for charity have pledged a donation.

Emma Lambert, 21, of Fieldfare, Billericay, was taken to Basildon hospital on Tuesday, November 23, with minor injuries following a head-on collision with another car on the A129 Southend Road at Crays Hill.

But a week later her condition deteriorated and she died on Wednesday, December 1.

Emma, who worked as a secretary in London's Docklands, was due to make a bungee jump to raise funds for breast cancer research this month.
