Tribute to father who died in cycling accident

A young father was killed in a freak accident when he cycled into a lamppost, an inquest heard yesterday.

Reece Thompson, 19, was described as an “amazing and loving” father to his 18-month-old son.

Mr Thompson, who played football for local teams and rugby for the North Wales regional side, was killed in the accident near his home in Bangor, North Wales.

He was taken to the Royal Stoke University Hospital where he underwent treatment, but died from his injuries a week later.

His father, Dewi, had previously said: “He was an amazing, loving and selfless human.”
