Tributes paid to man killed in Shropshire border crash
Tributes have been paid to a 32-year-old man who died in a crash on the north Shropshire border.
The family of Andrew Beddows, who was from Nantwich and who died at the scene of the crash at Quoisley Bridge near Whitchurch on January 14, have described him as a "fun-loving" and "happy" man.
The accident happened at about 8.50pm when the green BMW 320 he was driving left the carriageway and collided with a tree.
A family statement said: "Andrew's death has left us all devastated.
"He leaves behind his parents Edward and Peggie, who he adored, his older brother Paul, who he always looked up to, his sister-in-law Kelly and nieces Evelyn and Annie, who were a big part of his life.
"He also leaves his fiancée Rachel Burleigh, who he recently proposed to in her home town of Liverpool on her birthday, and step-daughter Mollie, who he had lots of fun with.
"Andrew attended Bishop Heber High School in Malpas. He then followed in his father's footsteps by becoming an excellent mechanic.
"He was self-employed at D.A Roberts - he enjoyed his time there doing the job he loved best with his mates who he always had a good laugh with on a daily basis.
"Andrew was fun-loving, witty and always the life and soul of the party. He was loving, happy and would always help anyone in need. He always put a smile on our faces, which we will desperately miss.
"We appeal to anyone who might have information about the incident or was in the vicinity of the A49 on the night to please contact the police as we are desperate to find out what happened."
A rapid response vehicle from Whitchurch was sent to the scene and arrived within seven minutes of the call.
On arrival, a paramedic found a vehicle that had suffered significant damage.
Police are investigating the incident and are appealing for anyone who witnessed what happened or may have seen the car travelling in the area around that time to come forward.
Anyone with any information is urged to call Cheshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 834 of January 14.
