The family of Sara Pancas, who died following a collision on the A11 at Ketteringham earlier this month (Sunday 3 November 2024) have issued the following tribute.

They said: "Sara was a brilliant sister and always full of joy. She was fun-loving and would always spread this around her family and friends. She enjoyed watching (and starring in) TikTok videos, singing and most of all, spending time with her friends and family. She was close to us and always had so much energy. We will miss her greatly."

Sara was the driver of a black Mini One which, early on Sunday 3 November, left the southbound carriageway and collided with a tree near the junction with Station Lane. At around 5.15am patrolling officers came across the car.

The road was closed whilst emergency services including fire, ambulance and air ambulance attended the scene.

A rear passenger in the car, a woman in her 20s, sadly died at the scene.

Sara Pancas, aged 38, was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital but sadly died two days later (Tuesday 5 November).

The families of the deceased are being supported by specialist officers and a file is being prepared for the coroner.

Two other passengers, a woman in her 20s and a man in his 30s, who were seriously injured remain in hospital in a stable condition.
