A family has paid tribute to a man who died in a car accident near Totnes.

Dylan Walker, 26, from Harbertonford, was pronounced dead at the scene of a two-vehicle crash on a country road near Washbourne on 8 July, police said.

Members of Mr Walker's family said his death had "left a huge hole" in their lives.

Devon and Cornwall Police said it is continuing its inquiries and asked anyone with information or dashcam footage of the crash to come forward.

'A heart of gold'

Mr Walker's family said: “Words won’t ever be able to express the grief and sadness we feel for the loss of our amazing son and brother.

“He was kind with a heart of gold. He was the type of person that was always there to help everyone before himself.

"Dylan was always smiling. A huge hole is left in our lives without him being here.

“He was popular with many and will not only be terribly missed by his family and friends, but he will be missed by his community."

His family thanked the emergency services and two members of the public that were first at the scene to help Mr Walker, adding: "We will be forever grateful."
