A man has died following a serious road traffic accident in Margate last week.
Anthony Williams died from injuries he sustained in the crash, passing away at the QEQM Hospital at around 8pm on Wednesday (May 7) night.
The 21-year-old’s family paid tribute to a “caring”, “home-loving” son.
A statement released on their behalf said: “Anthony will be deeply missed by us and all who knew him. There are no words that can explain how we are feeling as a family. We are all trying to come to terms with the shock of losing Anthony, he will stay in our hearts and minds forever.”
It went on: “He was a very caring young man who was hard working and a home loving boy. He didn’t go out drinking in pubs and nightclubs very often, he preferred to spend his time, either at home on his computer or Play Station or round his mates.
Anthony Williams was an employee of Speciality Breads where he worked as a driver and fork lift driver causing his father to nickname him the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
The 21-year-old was taken to the hospital following the crash in Ramsgate Road.
Police were called to the scene just after 6.30am after his car was in collision with a lamppost.
The road was closed until 12.50pm and traffic diverted.
Police had appealed for the driver of a blue Ford Escort car to contact them to assist with the crash investigation.
The man contacted officers as a result of the appeal and police later thanked him for his assistance .
Any witnesses who may be able to assist the police with their enquiries should contact PC Guy Ditcher at the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 01622 798538.
