The family of a 33-year-old man who died following a road incident in Burntwood have paid tribute to their "irreplaceable dad, boyfriend, son and friend".

Paul Summers, aged 32, was travelling in a grey Volkswagen Golf on Miners Way at 3.15pm on Tuesday 17 May when he was involved in a collision with another vehicle.

Sadly, despite the best efforts of medical staff, Paul, from Cannock, was pronounced dead at the scene.

His family have issued a statement:

"Paul was an irreplaceable dad, boyfriend, son and friend to all who knew him.

"He will be sadly missed by anyone who had the privilege of meeting him."

The driver and passenger of the second vehicle, a black Volkswagen Polo, were transported to hospital for treatment.

They were later discharged and continue to recover from their injuries.

Officers from the Staffordshire and West Midlands Serious Collision Investigation Unit (CIU) would like to speak to any witnesses or those who may have footage of the vehicles' movements prior to the collision.
