The family of a young man who died in a collision in Herefordshire last week have paid tribute to him as “the most wonderful and talented person in the world”.

26-year-old Steven James Lee from Rhos-on-Sea died in an incident on the A40 near Ganarew on Thursday 11 August around 9.45pm.

His family said: “A true polymath, Steven had almost completed his degree in medicine and was so looking forward to his future.

“He had a degree in biology, a Masters in immunology, he was a pilot instructor, a piano teacher, a commissioned officer in the RAF cadets and a photographer.

“He was the most wonderful, talented and accomplished person the world has ever seen.

“Steven leaves a heartbroken family including his mum, Diane, his dad, Richard, brother and sisters Alison, Maxine, Daniel, Rachel and Leanne and his girlfriend, Sophie, with whom he had planned his future.”

Officers believe a tractor towing a trailer of bales may have been involved in the incident.
