Tributes have been paid to a 'wonderful man' who sadly died following a collision in Bloxwich.

David Wellington was injured after a collision involving a box van on a service road off Bloxwich Road last Tuesday (12 December). Sadly, nothing could be done to save the 54-year-old.

In a tribute his family said: "With heavy hearts our family want to pay tribute to a wonderful man, known by many.

"Our beloved dad, grandad, son, brother and uncle, David, who tragically passed away on 12 December 2023.

"We appreciate all the kind messages and support the community have given us. However, could we ask for privacy while we grieve our loss."

The driver remained at the scene and is helping us with our enquiries.
