The son of a couple who were killed in a horror crash near Cirencester has released a tribute.
David Haynes, 75, and his wife Beryl, 72, died when their Ford Focus was involved in a two-vehicle collision on the B4425 Bibury Road on Saturday morning (5 November).
Beryl was originally from Corsham, Wiltshire, while David was from Twyford, Buckinghamshire, and they had lived in Twyford since 1969. They have an extended family and group of friends in both Corsham and Twyford.
Their son, Kevin, said: “Both mum and dad were amazing people and the best parents, and grandparents to Darcy, that I could have wished for.
“They were selfless, kind, generous and always gave their time for others, family and friends. They would be overwhelmed by the outpouring of love from the communities in Corsham and in Twyford, and the surrounding areas.
“Mum and dad were both huge advocates for those less fortunate, often people who were lonely and just wanted to talk to someone.
“I am so proud of my parents, the way they lived their lives to help others and just wish we had more time with them to enjoy their company, hear their stories and tell them how much they were loved.”
David was retired after working for the Vehicle Inspectorate in Bicester, and Beryl was a retired carer for the elderly, a full time mum and housewife.
The driver of the other vehicle involved – a Ford Transit Connect van – also died at the scene.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the collision and would like to hear from anyone with information or who witnessed any aspect of the incident.
Officers would also like to speak to anybody who may have dashcam footage which they believe would be relevant, or who saw anything unusual on the road in the time beforehand.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Gloucestershire Constabulary via their website, quoting incident 100 of 5 November.
