The family of a 40-year-old man who died after being hit by a car have paid tribute to him.

Shaun Davies died after being hit by a car on Stockport Road in Ashton-under-Lyne at around 11.55pm on Wednesday 24 April.

In a tribute released on Monday 29 April, his family described him as a 'kind, caring and loving' person.

They said: "We sadly lost our beloved brother Shaun to a hit and run on the 24th April.

"He was a much-loved son, brother and uncle. Shaun was such a beautiful kind person who had a loving and caring character to him.

"He brought laughter and smiles to anyone he was around.

"As it was a very unexpected death to the family we have set up a GoFundMe page to give Shaun the send off he deserves.

"Us as a family ask for privacy at this time to grieve in peace. Thank you."

A 29-year-old man was arrested by Greater Manchester Police at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Police said a 23-year-old man later handed himself in.

Both men have been released on bail as investigations into the incident continue.
