The family of a man who tragically died in a collision near Dishforth Airfield last week have paid tribute, describing him as “a beloved father, grandad and friend to many.”
Stephen Paul, 69, from Malton, was fatally injured when his red Fiat 500 was involved in a crash with a white HGV milk tanker and a green John Deere tractor on the A168, at around 7:15AM on Friday 19th September.
In a heartfelt statement, Stephen’s grieving family said:
“Stephen was a beloved Father, Grandad and friend to many. We are all beyond devastated by his sudden death.
“We would like to thank the Police, Air Ambulance, Paramedics for their efforts when attending the scene, along with all the witnesses and people who were there with him.
“A special thank you is needed for Bishopton Equine Veterinary Services in Ripon, who made every effort and went significantly above and beyond to try and save his dog, Cookie, who unfortunately also lost her life in the crash.”
