The driver, who died in a crash near Funtington on Friday (14 August) has been named today as 22-year old Georgina Mannings, of Old Rectory Close, Emsworth.
At 2.15pm on Friday the silver VW Polo saloon she was driving collided with a parked DAF heavy goods vehicle on the B2146 between Funtington and Ashling Park. Georgina died at the scene.
The rear seat passenger, a 20-year old man from Emsworth, received serious back and leg injuries and is currently at Southampton General Hospital.
The front seat passenger, a 24-year old Gosport man, was treated for cuts at St Richards Hospital, Chichester, and was discharged on the same day.
The road was closed for more than four hours while emergency services attended the scene.
