The family of Kevin Levins, a 71-year-old man from Burnham, have shared a heartfelt tribute after his death in a serious crash involving four vehicles in Althorne.

The crash happened shortly after 6.30pm on Wednesday 1st October at the junction of Fambridge Road and Lower Burnham Road.

Kevin Levins and Joanna Hills, a 36-year-old woman from Hullbridge, were both pronounced dead at the scene.

Kevin's family said:

“In memory of Kevin Levins, a loving husband, devoted dad, proud grandad, and dear friend.

“His kindness, laughter, and steady love filled every room he entered.

“He was the one you could always count on—for a helping hand, a good story, or a heartfelt smile.

“We will miss him deeply, but we carry him with us always—in our hearts, our memories, and the countless lives he touched.”

Detectives are now asking anyone with information about the collision to contact them.

They are particularly keen to speak to the occupants of a blue mini with a white or light-coloured roof and white wing mirrors, which was in the area at the time.

Police believe the people in this vehicle could have vital information that would assist their investigation.

Anyone who saw the crash or has dashcam footage is being asked to get in touch.
