A heartbroken family have paid tribute to their "much loved" son and brother who was tragically killed in a car crash in Manchester on Sunday.
Saadat Shah, 26, passed away on December 4 after the fatal collision on Chancellor Lane, in the Ardwick area, which also left one man fighting for his life and two others injured, the Manchester Evening News reports. Saadat who's been described as a "sensitive soul" was sadly due to be married soon and had just returned home from a birthday trip to Paris before the devastating incident.
In a heartfelt statement, his family said: "Saadat was a much loved brother, son, and great human being. His life was just starting and he just came back from Paris for his birthday last week. He had so many plans and was going to get married soon.
"He was very close with all members of his family and he greatly loved everyone. A sensitive soul, he will be dearly missed by everyone forever. RIP."
Floral tributes and balloons have been left at the scene in memory of Saadat, and an inquest into his death will begin at Manchester Coroner's Court on a later date. Police reported that a car believed to be a grey hatchback was travelling out of the city centre when the vehicle 'lost control before colliding with a bollard'.
Officers were called out at around 7am to the scene at the junction with Devonshire Street North and Higher Ardwick. The other three victims aged 23, 24, and 29 all suffered 'life threatening injuries' as a result of the crash.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police confirmed yesterday that the driver of the car was currently in a "critical but stable" condition. They also said that the other two passengers were in hospital with serious but non life threatening injuries.
Police also reported that no arrests had been made in connection to the crash and are urging any witnesses or anyone with dash cam or doorbell footage of the incident to come forward. Police can be contacted on 0161 856 4741 quoting incident 713 of 4/12/22.
