Tragedy as ‘sensitive & caring’ teen, 18, dies in horror crash leaving family devastated – with cops launching probe
COPS have launched a probe after a “sensitive and caring” teen died in a horror crash.
Aiden Bailey, 18, died at the scene of the crash near his home in the village of Snettisham on the west Norfolk coast.
The teen had been riding his motorbike on the A149 when it collided with a Range Rover heading in the opposite direction.
The crash happened near the Snettisham roundabout at around 5.10pm on August 6 last year.
Bakery worker Aiden died of multiple injuries, a pathologist’s report said.
Paying tribute to him, his family said: “Aiden was such a sensitive, kind, caring, loving, funny son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, boyfriend and friend to so many.”
The family added: “He was always putting everyone else before himself.
“Words can’t begin to express the loss and sadness we all feel that he has been taken so young.”
Yesterday assistant coroner Christopher Leach held a brief review into Aiden’s death.
Mr Leach said: “This inquest is being reviewed and it is not yet ready for hearing.”
He added: “The police continue to conduct their investigation into the crash.
“A decision has yet to be taken into whether any file will be transferred to the Crown Prosecution Service to consider charges.
“While the police investigation is on-going it is not appropriate for this case to proceed to an inquest.”
The assistant coroner adjourned the inquest for a further review in November.
