Tributes paid to Bristol man who died on Christmas Eve after being hit by car

The family of a man who died after being hit by a car in Bristol says he ‘will be sorely missed’.

Paul Adams died in hospital on Tuesday 24 December, three days after the collision in Clifton.

The 74-year-old was a pedestrian, and sustained serious injuries in the crash involving a red Peugeot at the junction of Whiteladies Road and Alma Road.

His family said: “Paul was born in Westbury-on-Trym and spent his whole life in that area.

“Before retirement, he worked for Rolls Royce and more recently Royal Mail.

“He had been happily married to Juliet for nearly 17 years.

“Much of his spare time was spent on charitable causes including Sacred Heart and St Antony’s churches, where he loved to sing, and the Mill Hill Missionaries.

“Paul will be sorely missed by his many friends, and especially by Juliet.”

Enquiries into the collision are ongoing.
