The family of a 27-year-old man who died in a crash in Cornwall have said he was a "big hearted, beautiful, generous" son and brother.

Bradley Gidney, a farm contractor from Launceston, died at the scene on the A388 in Treburley early on Sunday morning. The single-vehicle crash involved a black Audi A3.

His family said in a tribute: "Bradley was extremely family oriented and will always be deeply loved by us and our extended family, the void he has left will never be filled."

Police said its roads policing officers were continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash and appealed for any witnesses or motorists with relevant dashcam footage to get in contact.

The family tribute continued: "Bradley adored his work as a farm contractor and had just returned home from three weeks of harvesting for lifelong farming friends in Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire, where he grew up and his love of farming was born.

"Bradley's loss will be felt by us forevermore and the stars will shine a little brighter," it said.

The family added it had been "overwhelmed at the outpouring of love for Bradley in both Bucks and Devon and Cornwall, it means so much to us".
