A FAMILY has paid tribute to a 17-year-old who died in a crash in Poole last month.

Zebedee Watson, from North Dorset, sadly passed away after the motorcycle he was riding was involved in a crash with a DAF truck at the Holes Bay roundabout at around 5pm on November 28.

The teenager has now been remembered by his family, who said: “Zebedee Watson was a 17-year-old boy, he was full of life and had his whole future ahead of him.

“He had passed his driving test (first time) on November 19 and was so looking forward to driving his own car, his upcoming 18th birthday, and a promising future.

“Zeb was thriving at college on a plumbing course and was working hard to secure an apprenticeship in the field he loved. Previous to this, Zeb attended King Arthur’s Secondary School in Wincanton.

“Zeb leaves behind a heartbroken younger sister, aged 15, and a treasured little brother, aged three, who adored him. He cared for them deeply and was proudly the ‘man of the house’.

“He will always be a loving son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and a wonderful friend to so many. His warmth, kindness, and spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.”

Anyone who has not yet spoken to police and has information about the crash should contact Dorset Police on 101, quoting reference 55250175506, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
