THE family of a much-loved Flimby teenager who was the victim of a fatal road traffic collision in Huddersfield has paid tribute to their son.

Oliver Pryde, aged 18, died following a collision with a car in the early hours of Monday.

His family issued this tribute: “Oliver will be incredibly missed by family and friends and request privacy at this time.”

Two men in their thirties were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and a number of other offences following the collision.

Both have been bailed pending further enquiries.

Police have renewed their appeal for information regarding the collision on Penistone Road, Kirkburton.
