Family tribute to ‘beloved brother’ after fatal collision in Highbridge

A family have paid tribute to a ‘dearly loved’ man who has died following a road traffic collision last month.

Andrew Carter, from Burnham-on-Sea, was cycling and sustained injuries in a collision involving a red Ford Fiesta on the A38 Bristol Road in Highbridge at about 2.45pm on Friday 2 January.

He was admitted into hospital almost a fortnight later. The 69-year-old sadly died on Sunday 18 January.

Andrew’s family said: “We are heartbroken about our beloved brother, Andrew Carter. As a family, we were incredibly close, and Andrew was dearly loved.

“Andrew cycled daily, loved being outdoors, and treasured his walks with his dog — moments that truly brought him joy.

“His absence has left a space that can never be filled, and he will be missed far more than words can ever express.

“We will carry his memory with us always.”

Last week a man in his 20s attended a voluntary police interview in connection with our ongoing enquiries into the collision.
