The family of a man who died in a crash on the A350 near Trowbridge have released a tribute.

The two-vehicle collision happened at around 9.20pm last Monday evening (04 April) on the section of road between Yarnbrook and Heywood.

69-year-old Robert Godfrey, from Westbury, died at the scene.

His family wrote: “Rob was an agricultural contractor who loved his job and enjoyed passing on his years of experience by mentoring many of his work colleagues.

“Outside of work, he enjoyed photography and watching Formula One and rugby, and a pint!

“He leaves behind, and will be greatly missed by, his wife, two children and six grandchildren, and we know he will be remembered by everyone who knew him as a hardworking, reliable, caring and loyal man, who had a dry sense of humour!

“We would like to thank the emergency first responders and the members of the public who were first on the scene of the collision, for everything they did.”

A 29-year-old man arrested in connection with the collision has been released under investigation while our enquiries continue.

Wiltshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit is continuing to urge any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

You can call the unit directly on 01225 694597 and quote log number 292 of 4 April. You can also email [email protected] including the log number and the date in the email subject.
