Tyler Carley, who was 20, died in December when the lorry he was a passenger in overturned on the A4174 Avon Ring Road, near Mangotsfield. The former Castle School pupil's family have
set up a foundation in his memory to help charities offering help to bereaved relatives, after finding it hard to find support themselves following his death.
