A 41-year-old woman who died following a collision on the A386 in Bideford has been named as Kelly Gliddon (nee Sussex) from Torrington.

The collision happened on Thursday 9 May at Little America, Landcross and involved a BMW 420D, a Vauxhall Astra and a Citroen Dispatch van.

Kelly, who was a passenger in the Vauxhall Astra, sustained fatal injuries and was declared deceased at the scene.

Her family have paid the following tribute to her:

““Kelly Gliddon nee Sussex was a devoted mother to two boys Charlie and Shay, beloved daughter to Mike and Diane and sister to Lynsey; sadly she has been taken from us.”

Four other people were injured in the collision and were taken to North Devon District Hospital.

One of the occupants of the Vauxhall, a 29-year-old man from Bideford, was later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. 

He has been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
