"Very suddenly and unexpectedly, Bugle suffered a horrific loss on Wednesday with the sudden passing of Benji, a very much loved and adored part of the community and where Benji’s heart truly belonged.
"Most incredibly loved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend to everyone. Benji, you are missed so very deeply already that words cannot describe. We love you."
Police are continuing their investigations, and are continuing to urge anyone who could have any information regarding the crash to get in touch.
