Dad speaks of heartbreaking moment he found his son's body after M6 crash

The dad of a 19-year-old who tragically died after crashing his car on the M6 has spoken of his agony after finding his son dead on the edge of the motorway.

Alex Tyson was killed instantly after he crashed his Ford Fiesta into a barrier on the M6 on Sunday September 4 last year. His death, which has been ruled a suicide, happened just moments after he sent a text to his girlfriend in which he said: "I love you and always will... I am on the motorway... see you in the next life and goodbye".

Desperate family members tracked the location on Alex's phone, with dad Peter rushing to find him on the slip road. But when he arrived he found Alex's car empty - with his beloved son's body lying 20 yards from the car, reports LancsLive.
