TRIBUTES have been paid to a man who was killed in a horrific accident on a secluded country lane.

The 34-year-old, named locally as dad-of-two Warren Rowles, was a pillion passenger on a Kawasaki motorcycle which crashed in Beach Road between St Osyth and Seawick Holiday Park.

It is still unclear what happened, but police say no other vehicles were involved in the smash last week.

Warren has been described by a pal as "happy-go-lucky" and a "smashing gentleman".
