THE woman who died in a road accident on a busy Fenland road on Friday has been identified by police.
Jurgita Mazeikainte, 20, of Star Lane, London, was driving a gold Honda Accord which was involved in the collision on the A141 near Tick Fen, between Chatteris and Warboys. Two other people suffered minor injuries and were treated at hospital.
The collision happened at 9.35am and involved the Honda, a sliver Fiat Multipla, a DAF articulated lorry from haulage company G H Martin and Son based in Wiltshire, and a white Volvo articulated lorry.
The road, the main transport link between Fenland and Huntingdonshire, was closed until 4pm on Friday as emergency services cleared the scene.
Fourteen fire-fighters from March, Chatteris and Huntingdon were called to the scene.
Ronnie Booth, station manager at Huntingdon Fire Station, said the rescue operation carried out was “difficult because of the damage to the vehicles”.
