The family of a man, who died after a crash in Swindon, has paid tribute to him.

82 year-old Anthony Pinnock suffered a cardiac arrest when the Hyundai i10 he was driving collided with an MG HS near Great Western Academy last Monday.

His family said: “We are heartbroken by the sudden loss of our beloved father, Anthony J. Pinnock.

“He was, and will always remain, an extraordinary father, steadfast in his love and unwavering in his support for his family, always putting everyone he cared about before himself.

“His absence has left a space in our hearts that can never be filled.

“Our only comfort is in knowing that he is now reunited with his cherished mother Lily, brother Alan, and daughter Lisa."
