The family of a 22-year-old who died following a crash on the A19 have described him as a "beautiful, sensitive young man".

Lucien Guest died following a one-vehicle collision which happened on the southbound carriageway of the A19 at the Murton Interchange, near Dalton Park and Seaham, at 11.50am on Sunday (29 September).

Lucien has been described as naturally kind with a very cheerful and positive look to life.

Paying tribute, his family said: “Lucien, our dearly loved son, brother, grandson and cherished family member whose young life at the age of twenty-two was tragically cut short.

“You were so so loved. Lucien’s fun, loving nature endeared him to those who knew him as a child and as the beautiful, sensitive young man he became.

“He will be loved and missed by the whole family and by those whose lives he touched.

“Memories of life with Lucien will be treasured for the rest of our lives.

“Rest in peace sweetheart. Here's hoping all your sorrows are now gone and you can fly free.”
