Family 'heartbroken' after fatal collision

The family of a man fatally injured while out cycling say they are "heartbroken" at his death.

Andrew Carter, 69, from Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, was involved in a collision with a Ford Fiesta on the A38 Bristol Road in Highbridge at about 14:45 GMT on 2 January.

He was taken to hospital but died on 18 January.

In a statement, relatives said: "We are heartbroken about our beloved brother, Andrew Carter. As a family, we were incredibly close, and Andrew was dearly loved."

They added: "Andrew cycled daily, loved being outdoors, and treasured his walks with his dog - moments that truly brought him joy.

"His absence has left a space that can never be filled, and he will be missed far more than words can ever express.

"We will carry his memory with us always."

Avon and Somerset Police said a man in his 20s attended a voluntary police interview in connection with the collision, but investigations were ongoing.
