Her car collided with a blue Mercedes van travelling in the opposite direction. The Peugeot was on the wrong side of the road at the time of the crash but police do not know why.

The seafront road was closed from Schwerte Way to Warrior Square for four hours with a diversion put in place by police.

The 35-year-old van driver, also from Bexhill, suffered minor injuries. There were no passengers in either car and no other vehicles involved in the crash.

Several bouquets of flowers with heart-felt messages attached to them have been placed at the scene.

An inquest has been opened and adjourned into the death.

* Witnesses of the crash are asked to call Sussex Police on 0845 6070999, quoting serial 556 of January 11.
