The family of a 24-year-old man killed in a car crash near Royston last week says he was "loving, sociable and kind".

Brandon Friz-Kessler died on Friday night - after his car collided with a BMW on the A10 between Royston and Melbourn.

Brandon, the driver of the BMW 3 Series, was pronounced dead at the scene.

In a tribute, his family said: "Brandon was a loving son, sociable and kind, who was willing to lend a hand to anyone."

The driver of the other car was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, with serious injuries.

Sergeant Dan Newton said: “A young man has tragically lost his life in this collision and my thoughts are with his family and friends at this very difficult time.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have seen the collision, or either car prior to it, to get in touch.”
