19-Year-Old Actress Killed in Fatal Wiltshire Crash

Rosa Taylor, a 19-year-old talented performing arts student from Upholland, Lancashire, tragically died in a car crash involving a Hyundai i10 and a Scania Tipper HGV on the A4 near Corsham, Wiltshire, while on her way to perform in a theatre show at Corsham Library. She was declared dead at the scene, while the driver and another passenger were seriously injured. Rosa was a passionate performer who had played leading roles at the Artz Centre in Skelmersdale and with Liverpool Empire Youth Theatre, and she was studying musical theatre at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. She had recently secured a place at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London to start in September. Her family described her as a beautiful, loving, and naturally gifted performer, deeply loved by all who knew her, and a GoFundMe has been set up to support them. Rosa was also known for entertaining children at parties, embodying beloved characters, and was starring in the Beggars Belief Collective's production of SCRUMPTIOUS! at the time of her death.
