THE family of cyclist Andrew Carter have paid tribute to a “beloved brother” who passed away after a crash in Highbridge last month.

Andrew, of Burnham-on-Sea, sadly died several weeks after he was involved in a crash involving a red Fiesta car on the A38 Bristol Road at around 2.45pm on January 2.

The 69-year-old was admitted to hospital two weeks later, where he died on January 18.

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

“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 police enquiries into the incident.

Avon & Somerset Police are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision and has not yet spoken to officers, on 101, quoting reference 5226032354.
