Fundraiser for popular teenager who died in crash in Oswestry sees £6,000 pledged
A GoFundMe Page set up to support the family of a teenager who died in a crash has already seen more than £6,000 donated.
Aidan Pritchard, 19, died at the scene of a collision on the Trefonen Road in Oswestry on January 19 despite the best efforts of a member of the public, police and paramedics who carried out CPR.
The fundraising internet page was set up by a friend of the popular young man's family, and kind donators have already pledged more than £6,000.
Janet Jones said: "I felt like I needed to do something to help the family as I’m sure many people do. This GoFundMe page is a way that people can help say goodbye to Aidan."
Donations include those from members of Oswestry Rugby Club, where Aidan played rugby and from friends at Marches School, where he was a student.

Janet said that some of Aidan's friends were arranging to have tribute tattoos and that the tattoo studio would make a donation to the page for each one.
An inquest into his death has been adjourned until April 28.
Aidan was driving a grey BMW. Also involved the collision which happened at about 8.15pm were a white BMW and red Peugeot 206.
A second person suffered critical injuries in the crash. His condition is not known.
