Tributes paid to man killed in crash on A33 in Reading

Tributes have been paid to a "much loved son, brother and uncle" who died in a two-car crash in Reading.

Aaron White, 27, was driving a Citroen that hit the central reservation of the A33 at the Rose Kiln Lane junction early on Wednesday morning.

He was pronounced dead at the scene and a 20-year-old man driving a BMW was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

In a statement his family said he always had "a smile on his face".

The statement continued: "He would light up the darkest days with his smile and banter. Aaron was a much loved son, brother and uncle, who always looked out for his family."

Mr White's mother said: "My heart is broken and I haven't got my rock to help me through the good and bad times.

"I feel numb, I don't know what to do without my boy, I need a hug."

Police said they believed the Citroen had been stolen from outside an address in Waterside Gardens.

A spokesman said a few minutes prior to the crash it was seen at an address in Symeon Place and at that point there were two people in the vehicle.

The road was closed in both directions for more than five hours.
