It will be held on Tuesday afternoon with a private, family-only service. The 18-year-old student was the only one of five passengers in a silver Ford Fiesta that crashed on Friday, February 5 to die in the accident. Four other people in the vehicle were injured, two of them seriously. The car was travelling along The Mead towards the roundabout junction on the A350, near Lidl, when the accident happened. It hit a kerb and is understood to have bounced off that before smashing into a brick garden wall and a tree. Police said the 19-year male driver who was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol, along with an 18-year-old girl who was also seriously injured, has since been released from hospital.
