Telford man who died in M6 collision on Sunday is named
A Telford man who died in a collision on the M6 on Sunday has been named as Anthony Marston.
The married 54-year-old father of two was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash between junctions 10 and 10A on the northbound carriageway at around 3pm.
Mr Marston was driving a white Mercedes E300 estate and had been towing a trailer loaded with a Peugeot Partner van along the M6 northbound. The collision involved a heavy goods vehicle and a gantry was also badly damaged.
In a moving tribute, Mr Marston’s family have said: "Tony was a loving father to Laura and Luke and husband to Sue. He lived life to the full, he was one of life’s original characters who will be deeply missed by all who knew him."
Sergeant Alan Wood, from the Regional Collision Investigation Unit, said: "A number of witnesses have come forward, however we are aware that the M6 was very busy at that time and we are still keen to speak to anyone who can offer any further information.
"Our thoughts remain with Mr Marston’s family as we continue to piece together how he died."
The motorway remained closed for several hours following the collision while emergency services worked to clear the debris and repair the road surface.
Witnesses are asked to call the Regional Collision Investigation Unit on 101 quoting reference number 1400 of 21 August.
