Family and friends have paid tribute to the life of a teenager who died following a crash on the A595.
Ted Southward, 14, from Waberthwaite, died at the scene of a collision at Prospect Hill, Waberthwaite.
“Funny, kind, talented, fearless, legend – five words Ted’s friends would use to describe him.”
The family’s tribute reads: “Ted was one in a million, loved and respected by so many. He was at his happiest covered in grease, working on engines, racing his car or driving tractors. An absolute belter of a lad, who would have grown into an amazing man. Our hearts and lives are shattered, forever and ever.”
Police were called to the collision at 8.06pm on Friday 8 April. Ted was the rider of a mountain bike which was involved in a collision with a silver Kia Sorento.
