Police reported that the accident involved a white Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, a silver Vauxhall Combo, which Emily was driving, and a black Land Rover, and happened at about 8.45pm.
The road was closed until the following morning.
Emily was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Mercedes-Benz was taken to Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Mr Turner told the Standard: “I need to clarify in my own mind the events leading up to, during and after the accident.

“I cannot go into any detail as it is under police investigation.
“Obviously, speaking to any witnesses may help me piece together her, or another driver’s manner of driving, and more importantly, I need to know if she suffered,” Mr Turner said.
“There would have been people on scene immediately, and it would be the decent thing to thank them as obviously the accident would have been traumatic for them too.”
