THE devastated family of a man killed in a double fatal road crash has paid tribute to an "incredible loving person and a fantastic father."

Daniel Williams was one of two people who died at the scene of the two-vehicle collision on Blandford Road, near Kingston Lacy.

Police were called around 8pm on Tuesday, August 18.

Mr Williams, aged 40, from St Leonards, Ringwood, had been behind the wheel of a Skoda car which was in collision with BMW car driven by 56-year-old midwife, Jane Beaumont, from Warminster.

She was also killed in the accident.

The family of Mr Williams said: "Daniel will be sadly missed by all of his family and friends. Daniel was the most incredible loving person and a fantastic father to his young children who he loved dearly.

“Daniel was a loving man with a kind heart and the funniest sense of humour, he was always happy with an infectious smile.

"He did all he could to make others happy and would always put himself out to help others and nothing was too much trouble.

“Daniel has left a huge hole in everyone’s lives and will be sorely missed.”

Sergeant Nikki Burt, of the Dorset Police traffic unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the families of both of those who very sadly died in this collision and they are being supported by officers.

“We are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the collision and I would urge any witnesses or anyone with relevant dashcam footage who has not yet spoken to police to please contact us.”
