The "heartbroken" family of a teenager has paid tribute to him after he died in a car accident in October.

Philip Madden, 19, and his best friend, Shane Vickers, 22, were killed when their car hit a tree and caught fire on Ellesmere Road, Bronington.

His parents and brother said they would think of him "all the time".

The two friends were driving to Penley in Wrexham in a silver Vauxhall Corsa when it hit a tree just before 23:00 GMT on 30 October.

According to the Welsh Ambulance Service, one of the men was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, while the other was taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital in a critical condition, but later died.

Mr Madden, of Northwood, Shropshire, attended Maelor School, Penley, and was in his final year of an electrical apprenticeship.

Mr Vickers had a joinery and carpentry business, based at the family home in Bettisfield.
