A British woman has been killed in a car crash in western Siberia, while taking part in a vintage car rally from Peking to Paris.


Mother-of-two Emma Wilkinson, 46, was killed when her 1970 Chevrolet C10 collided head on with a Volkswagen Polo near the city of Tyumen on Wednesday.


A man and a child in the other vehicle were also killed.


Russian police said they were investigating the circumstances of the incident.


The rally is said to be one of the toughest vintage car races in the world, covering 7,000 miles (11,000km).


In a statement, the rally organisers said Mrs Wilkinson had been a "fun loving, lively and popular member of the rally" and that their thoughts and sympathies were with her family and friends.
