TRIBUTE has been paid to a father who died following a mini-bus collision on the A34 last week.
Craig Hall, 36, of Ainsworth Way, Middlesbrough, was travelling in a mini-bus when it was involved in a collision with a lorry on the A34 southbound.
It happened just south of the Sutton Scotney Services, at 4.40am on 26 February.
Mr Hall was pronounced dead at the scene.
Today his family have paid tribute to him.
Craig’s wife, Jackie Hall, said: “Craig was a family man with a heart of gold. He would do anything to help anyone.
“If he got a phone call in the early hours from a friend for a lift then he would get up and do it.
“He was a real joker and prankster.
“His loss has left such a massive hole in everyone’s lives.
“He lived for his kids and me. He was not just my best friend but also my soulmate.”
Investigations into the exact circumstances of the collision are ongoing and officers would like to speak to any witnesses.
