The family of a "devoted" husband and father who died in a crash in Staffordshire have paid tribute to him.

Sajid Ali was driving on Cannock Road in Pillaton, near Penkridge, at about 19:45 GMT on Sunday, when he was in a collision with another vehicle.

The 50-year-old died at the scene having suffering serious injuries.

In a tribute, Mr Ali's family said: "His love, care, and humility touched the lives of many, earning him deep respect within the community."

They added: "Sajid's legacy lives on through the warmth he shared as a loving husband and the guidance he provided as a dedicated father to two precious children."

Mr Ali had been driving a blue Toyota Avensis which collided with a black Vauxhall Corsa.

The passenger of the Toyota, a man in his late teens, was taken to hospital following the crash. His injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

The driver of the Corsa, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. He remains in a critical condition.
