THE family of a Westbury man who died in a road traffic collision on the A350 at Yarnbrook on earlier this month have released a tribute.
The two-vehicle collision happened at around 9.20pm on 4th April on the section of road between Yarnbrook and Heywood and one of the drivers, 69-year-old Robert Godfrey, from Westbury sadly died at the scene.
His family have released the following tribute, “Rob was an agricultural contractor who loved his job and enjoyed passing on his years of experience by mentoring many of his work colleagues.
“Outside of work, he enjoyed photography and watching Formula One and rugby, and a pint!
“He leaves behind, and will be greatly missed by, his wife, two children and six grandchildren, and we know he will be remembered by everyone who knew him as a hardworking, reliable, caring and loyal man, who had a dry sense of humour!
“We would like to thank the emergency first responders and the members of the public who were first on the scene of the collision, for everything they did.”
The other driver, who was arrested in connection with the crash, has since been released under investigation.
The Serious Collision Investigation Unit are continuing to appeal for anyone with information to come forward.
