Tributes flow for ‘smiling’ Charles who died in collision with lorry in Toddington

THE friends of a young man who died after his car collided with a heavy goods vehicle have remembered him as a ‘smiling, cheeky chap’.

Charles Glancy, 22, from Toddington, died when his black Volkswagen Passat collided with the vehicle in Harlington Road on Wednesday.

After his death, long-term friend Chaney-Alahna Stubbs set up a fundraising page for money which will go towards supporting his family.

She said: “I cannot really speak for everyone but I know that he was very well-loved in the community.

“He was always a smiling, cheeky chap who made everyone happy.

“I first met him eight years ago and he was my first boyfriend. We did not last long but I’ve known him since. In the past few months he decided that he was going to join the army and he was waiting to hear back about tests and basic training.”

Other tributes have been left on the fundraising page set up by Chaney on the gofundme.com website.
