Family pay tribute to pedestrian who died in Chippenham collision

The family of a man who died in a collision in Chippenham on Sunday have paid tribute to him as detectives continue to investigate the incident.  

At around 5.20pm, at the junction of Gladstone Road and Avenue La Fleche, a pedestrian was involved in a collision with a vehicle.

That pedestrian can now be named as Justin Edhouse, 49, from Chippenham.

In a tribute, his family said: “Justin was a beloved husband, son, brother and uncle who will be sorely missed by not just his wife, family, friends and colleagues but by everyone who ever knew him.”

Justin’s family have asked for any donations to be made to Wiltshire Air Ambulance.

They are being supported by specialist trained officers and our thoughts remain with them.

Investigators continue to conduct enquiries into the incident, and are particularly keen to hear from the driver of a red vehicle thought to be at the scene at the time who may have witnessed or captured dash cam of the incident.

The car may then have turned left on to Gladstone Street and may not be aware of the incident taking place.
