The family of a 33-year-old man who died in a single-car crash have paid tribute to an "amazing dad, partner, uncle, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend".

Lee Diamond died after a car crashed on a roundabout at the junction of Warwick Road and Orchard Way in Banbury, Oxfordshire, at about 01:40 GMT on 20 January, Thames Valley Police (TVP) said.

In a statement released via TVP, his family said "the tragedy still doesn't feel real".

The force has asked for anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward.

The vehicle "failed to negotiate" the roundabout junction at Warwick Road, police said

Officers previously said the crash occurred when a blue Subaru Impreza was travelling east on Orchard Way.

The vehicle "failed to negotiate" a roundabout junction and collided with the centre island, before overturning and landing back on its wheels on the opposite side of the roundabout, the force added.

Mr Diamond's family said he "touched so many lives in your 33 years with us all".

"Our lives will never be the same again but we can take comfort knowing you're back in the arms of your Mum watching over us with pride," the statement continued.
