The family of a father who died in a crash say he "lit up every room and lived life to the full".

Anthony Rogers, 45, from Bath, died when the purple Citroen C4 he was driving crashed in Twerton, on the outskirts of Bath on Sunday.

Emergency services were called to the single-vehicle collision in the Pennyquick and Whiteway Road area, at about 02:20 BST.

Mr Rogers' family said he would be "greatly missed by everyone who knew him".

“Ant was a larger-than-life character and a free spirit who lit up every room and lived life to the full," they added.

“He was a much-loved son, father, brother, uncle, friend and partner."

Road closures were put in place after the crash, which have since been lifted.
