Police have named a 19-year-old man who died after the car he was driving hit a wall on Monday (14 June) at around 1.25am.
Jamie Huscroft, of Keyworth, was driving his silver Vauxhall Corsa car when it came off Main Road, Plumtree. He died at the scene.
His devastated family have released this statement: “Jamie will always be a great son and brother but more so a friend to all.’’
“He will leave such a huge hole in so many people’s lives. Full of fun, laughter and such a character.” They now ask for privacy at this time and are being supported by specially trained officers.
A 22-year-old passenger of the vehicle was taken to hospital with serious injuries and is in a stable condition.
