An 11-year-old boy has paid tribute to his dad who died in a collision on a Coventry industrial estate last week.

Karamjit Singh, 37, died in hospital after the van he was driving was in a collision with a lorry in Baginton. His 11-year-old son, Aarondeep, has said no-one can replace his dad.

Aarondeep said: "We are very upset our dad has gone, I'm absolutely devastated. No-one can replace my dad, and he will remain in our hearts forever."

His wife Sonia said: "Karamjit was a caring father and a loving husband. He was a hard worker and one with a heart of gold. My world has finished, my life has shattered with my Karamjit's sudden death. I'm now left with his memories which shall stay alive in my heart forever. I love you Sodhi."

Warwickshire Police said the 37-year-old died after colliding with a lorry on Siskin Parkway at Middlemarch Industrial Estate late last Tuesday night.

Mr Singh, from Leicester, was taken to hospital where he died after being cut from his vehicle.

Police have confirmed that his family are being offered specialist support.

The driver of the Daf lorry, which collided with the victim's Mercedes Sprinter van, was unhurt.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said paramedics treated the van driver at the scene.

An ambulance spokesperson said: "Crews arrived to find a collision involving a van and a lorry. The driver of the van, a man, was in a critical condition.

"Ambulance staff worked closely with the fire service to quickly extricate him from the vehicle in order to administer advanced life support on scene.

"The man was transferred by land ambulance on blue lights to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for further emergency care.”
