Adam Bouaziz died after he was hit by a van on Thursday, police say

The family of a teenager killed in a suspected hit-and-run crash have said they are "beyond devastated".

Adam Bouaziz, 18, was struck on Horton Road in Colnbrook, Slough, on Thursday at about 17:30 GMT.

A 34-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, both from Slough, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and released on bail.

In a tribute, the family said: "Our boy was made of pure sunshine, and never had a bad bone in his body."

They said he would "remain in our hearts forever".

"As a family, we are beyond devastated," they said.

"We need to tell the world how proud we are to have had his beautiful soul in our lives, and how the privilege of being his parents and brother, along with his memory will never die."

Tracy, Slim and Zak went on to thank the "hundreds of well-wishers" for their kindness and support.

On Friday, Thames Valley Police officers recovered a black Mercedes Sprinter van believed to have been involved.

The force has urged witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage or information to come forward.
