The pedestrian, 74-year-old Brian Turnbull of Mullins Close, Basingstoke, was taken to Southampton General Hospital with serious injuries where he subsequently died on Tuesday night (18 September).

Brian’s family have released the following tribute:

"Brian was a loving Husband, Father and Grand Father. His sudden death is a huge shock which we are still trying to process. He will be deeply missed by those that knew him.

“We will remember him as a loving, caring and supportive Husband and Dad. We draw inspiration from his positive and optimistic outlook on life and will greatly miss his sense of humour, and constantly happy attitude.

“We thank all those that helped Brian after the accident for their care and compassion, and to all the well wishes that we have received as a family."
