A YOUNG Melksham woman who died in a car accident is to be remembered at a fundraising event next week.

Michelle Phillips, 26, died after a three-car collision in Devon in April and her parents, John and Sandra, of Halifax Road, Bowerhill are raising money for Wiltshire Air Ambulance on Friday, two days before what would have been her 27th birthday.

Mrs Phillips said: "Tickets have gone really well and we have lots of raffle prizes."

The event will be held at Melksham Assembly Hall from 7.30pm.
