Alfie Lovett

The devastated family of a teenager killed in a crash near a North Yorkshire beauty spot have paid a beautiful tribute to him.

He was Alfie Lovett, 17, who was from York.

Alfie died on Tuesday (12 September) after the car he was travelling crashed into a wall near Brimham Rocks.

He was a passenger in the Peugeot 107. Tragically, Alfie was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision.

Alfie’s family have paid this tribute to him:

“Alfie was a unique personality who loved to make people laugh and lived for adrenaline fuelled adventures.

“He lived his life fearlessly and marched to the beat of his own drum without caring about what anyone thought of him.

“Alfie had his own world view that very few understood. He was only 17 but has made a huge mark in his short time and anyone who’s ever met him is not likely to ever forget him!

“Alfie was a fiercely loyal friend, a protective big brother to his two younger sisters and brother and loving father to his infant son.

“Taken from us far too soon with so much more to give, he’ll be very missed every day.”

Three other occupants of the Peugeot were left with minor injuries and the driver is helping the police with their enquiries.

The road was closed for several hours to allow investigation work to take place at the scene of the collision.

North Yorkshire Police are asking any witnesses to come forward.
