Family pays tribute to teen who died in East Preston crash
Ryan Alford was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash late last month
The family of a 'happy-go lucky' teenager from Littlehampton, who tragically died in a crash in East Preston late last month, have paid tribute to him.
Ryan Alford, 15, was riding a green Kawasaki scooter on Station Road on 31 August when it left the road and hit street furniture. He was declared dead at the scene.
Ryan's mum Kelly said: "Ryan was a lovely young lad, he is going to be missed by so many.
“He loved playing Xbox, he was a keen gamer, and socialising with his friends. He was very popular. If he wasn’t out with his friends or playing computer games he was probably in bed.
“It hasn’t sunk in yet, not at all. It’s still very hard and very raw. Rest in peace Ryan, we love you lots.”
The investigation into Ryan's death is continuing, and anyone with information is urged to come forward.
