A WOMAN in her thirties was taken to Basildon Hospital after a road crash in Billericay.
The crash happened when a grey Renault Megane and a green Peugeot 206 struck one another at 11.30am in Noak Hill Road on Wednesday (Oct 31).

Why is her age relevant?
When an age is written next to a name, it is to ensure that no one with the same name can be mistaken for the person in the article, especially if it surrounds wrongdoing. Not publishing something to distinguish a person in this respect could see a newspaper facing legal action.
