Bradley Tyas, from Chesterfield, died tragically yesterday (Thursday 21 January) after a collision between the Audi he was travelling in and a White DAF lorry.

The incident happened at around 6.20am, on the A60, near to the junction with Hennymoor Lane.

The 23-year-old sadly died at the scene.

Bradley’s family have released an image and paid tribute to him. In a statement, they said: “Yesterday, we lost a very special person. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Brad will understand how devastated we all are.

“He was the kindest, most loving person, who could light up a room with his energy and smile and his contagious laugh. He had a massive character, full of life, charming and funny.

“This is truly a huge loss to us all, taken from us so young with his whole life and future in front of him, and having only just become a dad to a beautiful son of only seven weeks old.

“He leaves behind his beloved fiancée, son, his mum and stepdad, his dad, and two devoted sisters.”

A fundraising page has been set up to help pay for Bradley’s funeral and support his son Beau.
