Cross on railings at Allendale / Ongar roundabout

There's a cross attached to railings at the Allendale / Ongar roundabout, at the exit for Hansfield. Who or what is it in remembrance of? I've seen it often and stopped to look but I've never seen a clear name.

Yes, I remember the incident. The family or loved ones put it up as a tribute shortly after as that was the spot where the car crashed. It hasn't deterred speeding or boy racing in the area in the wee hours unfortunately.
