Tributes paid after man dies in Newton Aycliffe collision

Tributes have been paid to a man who sadly died in a collision earlier this week.

Police were called just before 5.55pm on Tuesday (June 3) to a collision in which a motorcycle collided with a car on Williamfield Way, Newton Aycliffe.

The rider of the bike, Cameron Stewart, sustained critical injuries and was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

Mr Stewart’s family have paid tribute to the 23-year-old, saying: “Cameron was a beloved son, partner, brother, grandson, uncle, stepdad, nephew, cousin, and great friend to many.

“He lit up every room he walked in as if he had brought a whole bus load of people in.

“Cameron had a huge impact on many people’s lives, and he will be missed massively by everyone who knew him. Our community will never be the same again.

“We want to thank everybody for their kindness at this sad time.”

A woman was arrested in connection with the incident and has since been released under investigation.

Investigators would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has dashcam footage of the vehicles prior to the incident.
