Brother's tribute to Jack

9:29am Thursday 9th September 2010

THE brother of a teenager who died in a road accident in the Golden Valley has remembered the friendly and flamboyant 18-year-old.

Jack Slater McKenzie was a passenger in a Vauxhall Corsa that was in collision with a John Deere tractor and a Fiat Punto at around 11.30pm last Friday.

His brother Harry said: "Everyone who met him thought he was the coolest person they knew and everyone wanted to be his best friend.

"There never has been, or ever will be someone with a cheekier grin or someone so commited to having fun, and sharing the good times with others.

"It was physically impossible not to enjoy yourself in his company and even in these dark times I can't help but smile when I think of my kid brother."

The 18-year-old driver of the Corsa sustained spinal and hand injuries and was taken to Hereford County Hospital.

The drivers of the tractor and the Punto were uninjured.

Any witnesses to the accident on the B4348 near Peterchurch can call police on 0300 333 3000.
