The family of a man killed in a collision in Shalfleet have paid tribute to him following his death.
Officers were called at 1.22am on Saturday 23 July to the A3054, Ningwood Hill, following a report of a single-vehicle collision involving a van.
The driver of the van, Matej Gruber, 45, from Newport suffered serious injuries and sadly passed away.
Paying tribute to him, his family said: “Matej was an incredibly talented carpenter who specialised in shepherd’s huts.
“He was a devoted dad to Jessica Gruber and partner to Trudy Waughman.
“He will be sadly missed by both and by all his friends.”
Enquiries into the exact circumstances of the collision are ongoing and officers remain keen to speak with anyone who can assist their investigation.
