THE devastated family of a young woman who died in a car smash have paid tribute to her.

Mischa Bond, 22, of Tiptree, died at the scene of the collision in Witham Road, Tolleshunt Major, in the early hours of last Wednesday.

Her family said: "Mischa was a fun-loving girl who enjoyed life. She will be sadly missed by all her family and friends.”

Two men were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following the crash between a Mercedes car and a Ford Transit van.

A 30-year from Colchester and 25-year-old from Braintree have both been bailed.
