THE family of a Tadley man killed in a car accident earlier this month have paid tribute to a “happy, caring, kind and considerate young man”.

Mr Jones, along with his friend Connor O’Shea, died at the scene.

In a statement released through Thames Valley Police today (Wednesday), Mr Jones’ family said: “Kyle was a happy, caring, kind and considerate young man who was loved by many people.
