HEARTBREAKING tributes have been paid to a teenage motorcyclist who died in a horror crash.

Alex Thompson, 18, from Keynsham in Somerset, was killed at 3.45pm on Thursday following a collision with a car on the A4 near Bristol.

His family said: “My Alex was such a kind-hearted caring boy and always wore a cheeky smile.

“He was loved by everyone who he crossed paths with. He made a massive impact in just 18 short years of life.

“We have so much support from everyone that knew him at such a difficult time.

“He had his whole life ahead of him, he was on his way to pick up the keys to his first flat. He will forever make us proud.”

Cops are now appealing for dashcam footage or witnesses who saw either a Yamaha motorcycle or a blue Vauxhall Crossland on Thursday afternoon.

Somerset and Avon Police said: “Our sympathies are with them in their loss and our specially-trained family liaison officer will be offering support over the coming weeks.

“We continue to appeal for your help as we investigate this tragedy.”
