A MOUNTAIN of tributes and flowers has been placed in memory of a mother of two who died tragically in a car crash.

Friends and family have left heartfelt messages speaking of their broken hearts and wishing peace upon “heaven’s new angel.”

Meanwhile residents have said that the junction is intrinsically dangerous and called for the road layout to be changed.

Charlotte Hull, 29 was driving her silver VW Beetle down Yapton Road in Climping towards the A259 during the evening rush hour on Thursday near Littlehampton.

The 29-year-old's car crossed the T junction by the Oystercatcher pub at approximately 5.35pm, skidded on the grass verge on the other side of the carriageway and came to a halt in a stream by the side of the road.

No other vehicles were involved but Charlotte, of Horsemere Green Lane, Climping, sustained severe injuries and died at the scene.

Mourners brought bouquets of roses, daffodils and lilies to the site throughout the day.

A friend of Charlotte’s, who preferred not to be named, said that friends and family were baffled as to how the accident could have happened, since Charlotte drove the road frequently, often using it as her route to the gym.

The floral tributes bore moving messages. One said: “There are no words for how are hearts are broken. RIP beautiful, we love and will miss you so very much.

Another bore the tribute: “What a truly amazing funny girl. Love you with all my heart am truly going to miss you love you Char.”

One heartbreaking message read: “Darling Charlotte, your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you will always be with us in our hearts forever, rest in peace sweetheart, goodnight, god bless and sweet dreams.”

Another simply read: “Charlotte. You are beautiful. You are an amazing mum. And you are missed. Rest in Peace.”

Wendy Marner, who has managed the local post office for 27 years, said: “It’s a dangerous junction.

“I think there’s been more than one fatal accident coming out of Yapton.

“There should be no right turn, but they won’t install a roundabout or traffic lights.”

Following the crash the road was closed for more than four hours for accident investigation and recovery work. It reopened at 10pm.

Sussex Police is appealing for witnesses to contact them by emailing collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101 quoting Operation Gryphus.
