After a car crash resulted in the death of their son, a Bicester family has been paid compensation.
The accident took place last October when Neil Webb, pictured, of Spruce Drive, Bicester, was a passenger in Ryan Naylor’s Citroen Saxo when it crashed head-on with a BMW in Ardley.
As a consequence, the 19-year-old suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. After admitting causing death by dangerous driving , Naylor, 21, of Ardley Road, Fewcott, was jailed for 32 months at Oxford Crown Court.
The amount of the compensation claim has not been released.
Neil’s dad Jeff, an Oxfordshire firefighter, said that Neil was a popular boy who lived life to the full and the compensation can’t make up for the loss of their son.
“It will cover the costs of his funeral – something we never planned for,” he added.
