The family of Ryan Brindley, the motorcyclist who died in a fatal crash in Dinton last week, have paid tribute to him. 

Ryan, a 43-year-old from Amesbury, died following a crash with a Volkswagen Touran on Hindon Road, near Wyndham Pub on Wednesday, December 22, at 7pm. 

His family said: “We would like to express our sincere thanks to everybody for their kind words since the passing of Ryan.

“Clive, Lee, Ethan, Hayley, his children and the whole of the Brindley family are still trying to come to terms with what has happened but are grateful for everybody’s love and support. 

“Ryan was a unique, one of a kind man who was loved by so many and will never be forgotten. 

“Although there are many questions yet to be answered once further details emerge, we would like to thank Wiltshire Police for acting so quickly – this has been the smallest comfort at an incredibly difficult time.”

The Volkswagen driver, Paul Barrett, aged 42, of White Road, Mere, appeared at Swindon Magistrates’ Court yesterday and was remanded in custody.

He is due to appear in court for a bail hearing on December 29.
