Andrew Lodge was walking on the Denby Court cul-de-sac in Oakworth, near Keighley, on the night of May 5 when he was struck by a Mitsubishi Barbarian.

The driver has been spoken to by police.

In a tribute, Andrew’s partner said: “Andrew was a beautiful person. He loved people and people loved him. He was calm, laid-back. He never judged and always had a big cheeky smile on his face. I have lost my soul mate and best friend. It feels like our hearts have been ripped out”
