A woman from Colchester has died after a single vehicle crash on the A12 at Stratford St Mary.
It happened on the northbound carriageway at the junction of the B1068, last Monday (2 August) at around 7.45pm.
A silver Skoda Fabia was involved.
The driver, 26-year-old Heather Loveridge, known by family and friends as Meg, died at the scene.
In a tribute, her family said:
"Meg was a loving partner, daughter, a sister, a friend and a carer.
"Loved by all that knew her and will be missed by so many, especially her dog Jessie that had been by her side from a puppy and was there to keep her warm until the very end.
"Sleep tight Meg, we all miss you so much."
Police are still appealing for any witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage that captured the collision to come forward and contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, quoting CAD reference 343 of 2 August 2021.
