Family members have paid tribute to a ‘beloved mother, daughter and sister’ after she died following a crash on the A46.
Emergency services were called to a collision involving two cars and a van near Screveton around 10.30pm on Saturday (23 November).
Forty-nine-year-old Sithembile Kona, of Mapperley, Nottingham, was pronounced dead at the scene despite the best efforts of emergency services who attended.
Her family has now released a tribute through one of the force’s Family Liaison Officers, who has been supporting them.
It says:
“A beloved mother, daughter, sister and friend has sadly passed away. She is survived by her son, Kudakwashe, and mother in Zimbabwe.
“Her sudden passing is a devastating loss to her family and friends in the UK, Zimbabwe, and around the world.
“Our darling Sithembile, thank you for everything you have done for us.
“Forever in our hearts.”
Investigator Sarah Butler, of Nottinghamshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said:
“Our thoughts remain with Sithembile’s family and officers will continue to help them during this very difficult time.
“I would urge anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage to get in touch.”
