Tallulah Bradford died six days after being involved in a horror incident at Chalkwell Park in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Her loved ones have now paid tribute to the ‘beautiful’ 18-year-old
Tributes have been paid to a teenage girl who sadly died this week following a horror incident at a seaside park.
The incident happened in the Chalkwell Park area of Southend-On-Sea in Essex in the early hours of Saturday, June 13, where the woman suffered severe injuries and was rushed to hospital. Essex Police have said that two teenagers aged 17 and 18 have been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and they have been bailed.
The force is appealing for witnesses to come forward to help in the investigation, saying that there were a large crowd of young people in the area at the time of the incident.
The latest statement form Essex Police on the incident reads: ” “A teenager seriously injured following an incident involving a vehicle in Southend has, sadly, now died.
