Family and friends pay tributes to Shropshire teenager killed in car crash
Family and friends today paid tribute to a teenager from Shropshire who died in a car crash.
Callum Haskew, 19, died on the B5405 Great Bridgeford to Woodseaves Road at Lawnhead, near Eccleshall, on February 20.
Callum was formerly of Newport but his family had recently moved to Daventry in Northamptonshire.
His funeral will take place at Telford Crematorium tomorrow at 11am.
Mum Jen Haskew posted on Facebook: "Cal our angel. We will love you more every day for the rest of our lives. Mum and Dad. xxxx"
Brother Dan Haskew said he was going to "celebrate your life properly like I know you would want us to. You will never ever leave our hearts." Sister-in-law Becca Haskew posted on Facebook: "We miss you Cal. Still doesn't seem real. Words can't even describe how much we all loved you. You weren't just a brother-in-law, you were my little brother and a great friend who I could talk to about anything. You meant a lot to me, love you x x."
Callum, formerly of Burton Borough School, was a passenger in a black Vauxhall Agila when it collided with a blue Toyota Avensis.
The driver of the Vauxhall, a 19-year-old woman from Newport, was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital. The driver of the Toyota, a 57-year-old man from Sheffield, suffered minor injuries and was taken to Stafford Hospital for treatment. He was discharged later the same evening.
Callum's family have decided to support the Wolves Community Trust charity in his memory as he was a keen fan of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.
Dave Hill, headteacher at Burton Borough School, said: "We were all shocked and saddened by the death of Callum. He had his whole life ahead of him that was full of amazing possibilities. It is a tragedy that this has been taken from him. The thoughts of everyone are with Callum's family."
Friends released lanterns at Newport Skate Park in his memory a few days after the crash. Ollie Tong said: "I still can't believe you're gone. It was an honour and a pleasure to have known you Callum, sleep tight bro, I love you."
