Alex Tyson was found dead by his father Peter after crashing into a barrier on the slip road
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.
"I went home and told [Alex's mum] Caroline what Ellie had said but by that stage he'd been dead half an hour. Then I went to Junction 31a and headed southbound. There were no blues and twos and I thought 'that's good'. Then I came off at Junction 31 and saw his car between the slip road and the carriageway. I jumped out and ran across using my phone as a torch but he wasn't in the car.
Caroline was so moved after reading a comment posted online from Alex's mentor that she contacted him directly via Facebook. "He replied and said 'I wasn't just saying it, I meant every word, he was one in a million'," she recalled.
