Grandad killed in head-on crash with teen wrong-way driver was 'one of the good guys'

The family of a grandad killed in a head-on crash with a teen who was driving the wrong way along the M60 today paid tribute to him.

David Faulkner, 77, died after being hit by a stolen BMW driven by 18-year-old Brandon Geasley following a police chase. Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene.

An inquest at Manchester South Coroner's Court heard this afternoon that Mr Faulkner was "one of the good guys" in a tribute from his devastated family. Anthony Faulkner, one of David's two sons, described his "very special" dad, reading out a written portrait of the grandfather-of-two's life, detailing his dad's love of dancing, his musical skills, and his ability to always be there to help those around him.
