Family of crash victim Gary Lane have paid tribute to him.

Mr Lane died yesterday in Ermin Street, Swindon.

His family said: “Gary will be sorely missed by his mother and father – Ernie and Anita, as well as his four sisters and brother, Paul. Tracy, Sarah Joanne and Chrissy.

"He was a doting father of Shayla and Kai and I know he will miss the love and support of Sammy. Gary was a typical boy who had had tough teen years but had turned a corner, he lived life to the full. He was loving work, and will be remembered by all of his friends as a keen blade skater and motorbike rider. He had time for people, be it at the skate park helping, or being the great uncle, brother and son to everyone in our family.

"This has come as such a shock and we are finding it so hard to come to terms with what has happened.

"We are grateful for the calls of support received and plan to celebrate his life at a service in St. Mary’s church in Tovey Road when things can be arranged. We would love all friends to attend, in anything but dark colours – and if in skating gear it would be a way of making his day special.”
