Teenager's death 'devastating' to darts community
HANDOUTThe death of a young rising darts star in a car crash in Doncaster is a "devastating loss", a spokesperson for the sport has said.
Keigan Vickerage, 18, died after the car he was a passenger in hit a tree on Chestnut Avenue, Carcroft, at about 00:05 GMT on Wednesday.
He played in the amateur Wheatsheaf Darts League with his brother Bailey and was described as an "up-and-coming" champion.
The Amateur Darts Circuit said he was a "young man who made a big impression on many people".
Circuit spokesman Simon Rimington said: "This is a devastating loss and my thoughts go out to Bailey and the rest of the family.
"Rest in peace Keigan, forever 18."
'Huge wave of support'
Keigan was also a supporter of Doncaster Rovers FC and fans attending the League One club's home match against Reading on Saturday are also planning a tribute to him in the 18th minute of the game.
Supporters club The Black Bank said it wanted to celebrate Keigan's life with a minute's applause as he and his family were "Rovers through and through".
It also proposed a tribute at the club's final home game in two weeks.
The football club told the BBC there was a "huge wave of support" for the tribute.
The driver of the Seat Leon that crashed into the tree, a 25-year-old man, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, South Yorkshire Police said on Wednesday.
The second passenger, 21, was treated for minor injuries.
A force spokesperson urged anyone who witnessed the crash or has any footage of what happened to come forward.
