Police name lorry driver who died in Frostenden crash
His family have paid tribute
A man who died following a serious crash in Frostenden is being named by police, as his family pay tribute to him.
Officers were called at just after 8am on Thursday 4 March, to reports of a three-vehicle collision on the A12.
Ambulance and fire crews were also called to the incident, which involved a beige DAF lorry, a white Mercedes lorry and a black Audi A6.
The driver of the Mercedes lorry sadly died at the scene. Subject to confirmation at formal inquest proceedings, he has been identified as Lee Firth, aged 48, from Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire.
Lee's family have paid the following tribute:
"There are no words available that could capture who Lee was and what he meant to the people in his life. A devoted father, a perfect brother and a wonderful friend. He had a kindness that extended to everyone he met in both his personal and professional life.
"Lee's passing has left an unfillable void in the lives of his loved ones, but he will always be remembered for his joyful personality, his love of music and talent as a DJ, as well as his passion for football and support of Tottenham Hotspur F.C.
"The most important thing in Lee's life was family including his children, Brook and Phoebe and his siblings, Sarah, Marnie, Lucie, Nicola, Kelly, Paris, Beth and Bentley who will all miss him dearly."
Police are continuing to appeal for any witnesses to the collision, or anyone driving in the area at around 8am who has a dashcam fitted in their vehicle.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, quoting reference: CAD 54 of 4 March.
