The family of a 19-year-old woman who died after a crash in Billericay in April have paid tribute to her.

Ellie-Mae Hill's been described as a "beautiful, kind soul" who is "deeply missed", following her death after the single-vehicle crash on April 25th.

The collision occurred at around 12:40am, at the junction of Pipps Hill Road and Oak Road.

Four people were in the car at the time of the crash, and four people were taken to hospital, where Ellie sadly later died.

Her family are continuing to be supported by officers, who have re-issued their appeal for information, as their investigation continues.

Ellie’s family have paid tribute to her as we re-issue our appeal for information:

“A granddaughter, a daughter, a sister, an auntie and a niece – our Ellie was well-loved by all who knew her. Taken far too young at just 19 years old.

“Ellie was always fun and had an infectious laugh. She was a beautiful, kind soul and is deeply missed by all her friends and family.

“She was hard working and travelled into the city every day for her job and loved meeting her friends at weekends.

“She was a real foodie and loved good food and nice restaurants with friends and family but most of all, always happy and loved life.

“From a young age Ellie showed a passion for fashion and makeup which later meant the family would get their own hair and makeup artist on special occasions.

“She was very talented and lived life but it ended far too soon.”

Anyone with CCTV, or dashcam footage, as well as information, is asked to contact Essex Police.
