Woman Dies in Ongar Crash Involving Fiat

Purity Njagi, a 35-year-old carer from Harlow, tragically died in a two-car collision on Epping Road, Ongar, on September 23. She was a passenger in a black Fiat 500 that collided with a black Ford Ranger, resulting in her death at the scene, despite efforts from emergency services; both drivers sustained serious injuries. Njagi's family described her as having a 'joyful spirit and thirst for life,' and she leaves behind a five-year-old daughter who will be cared for by her family. An inquest into her death has been opened and adjourned at Essex Coroner’s Court. Essex Police have re-issued a witness appeal, urging anyone with dash cam footage to come forward. The family expressed their heartbreak and fond memories of Njagi, highlighting the love she shared with her family and clients in both the UK and Kenya.
