A family have paid an emotional tribute to a ‘funny, kind, caring and considerate’ young man who died in a crash this week.

David Eubank, 20, from Bolton, was a back seat passenger in a Citroen C1 car which was involved in a collision with a Mercedes car on the southbound carriage of the M61 near Chorley on Tuesday night.

His family said in a statement: “David was beautiful inside and out – we are so proud of the fine young man he had become.

“He was funny, kind, caring and considerate at home, work and with his friends.

“David was so much loved by all who knew him.

“He has left a massive hole in our hearts – we are devastated by his loss.”

The carriageway was closed for much of Wednesday while investigation work took place.

The collision happened around 11.38pm on 15 October, near to Rivington Services. Police continue to appeal for witnesses to the collision.

If anyone was travelling on the M61 around the time of the collision and has dashcam footage, police ask you to contact them on 101, quoting log 1497 of 15th October 2024, or email SCIU@lancashire.police.uk.
