A Morecambe man who died following a single vehicle collision on the A7 at Scotsdyke, almost on the border with Scotland, at around 4.10pm on Wednesday May 22 has been identified.

Hugh Mooney known as Shug, aged 48, sadly died at the scene.

In tribute his family said: “We are lost for words.

"To say our lives will never be the same really doesn't do our pain or loss justice.

“He was such a true and loyal family man, a brilliant friend to many, who would do anything to help anybody.

“We as a family have lost the most beautiful soul, I as his wife have lost my soul mate.

“Shug will always be missed and forever loved.”
