TRIBUTES has been paid to a “loved” Hampshire man who has died following a collision in Fareham earlier this month.

Pedestrian Aaron Dance, 42, of Spencer Court, Fareham, was involved in a collision with a silver BMW on Redlands Lane in Fareham, at 4.50pm on Sunday, January 14.

Mr Dance suffered serious injuries and was taken to Southampton General Hospital for treatment.

However, he died in hospital last week.

Now his family have paid tribute to him.

In a statement, they said: “Aaron will be missed by more people than he ever realised and will always be loved by his friends and all his family.

“Aaron was an amazing support to his mum in recent times and we all take some solace in the fact that he was never in any pain and can finally get some much deserved rest.”

Officers are still investigating the exact circumstances of the collision and would like to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened, or who saw either the car or the man prior to the incident.

Sergeant James Fibbens, from the Joint Roads Policing Unit, said: “It happened outside the parade of shops, so we would like to speak to anyone who had visited the shops around that time.

“Any information could really help our investigations.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Hampshire Police on 101, quoting crime reference 44180017795, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
