The FAMILY of a 40-year-old man from South Warnborough, who died in a crash near Lower Froyle on October 26, have paid tribute to him.

Alexander Fletcher was driving along Froyle Road just after 7am when his blue Ford Ka collided with a fence post close to the junction that leads north to Long Sutton.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mr Fletcher’s family said: “Alexander was a true gentleman with a voracious appetite for life. He was a wonderful and much-loved husband, father, son, brother and friend to so many.

“As a greatly-respected consultant anaesthetist at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, he touched the lives of so many patients, families and colleagues. He will be missed beyond measure.”

Police are asking anyone who may have seen Mr Fletcher driving along the road that morning, or who noticed a stationary blue car, to contact them on 101.
