Man who died in crash was 'a diamond' - tribute
A man who died after the car he was in crashed into a tree was a "diamond that shines so bright in our lives", his family has said in a tribute.
Police were called to the A3090 after the red Fiat Punto crashed near Hursley, Hampshire, just before 04:00 BST on 22 April.
Mitchell Tulley, 33, from Crookhill, near Romsey, died at the scene.
His parents said he would be "deeply missed by those whose lives he touched".
The tribute, released by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, also said Mr Tulley had worked at IBM research and development laboratory in Hursley for the past 10 years.
"Mitchell’s childhood crossed many continents and cultures, growing up in the likes of Kitwe Zambia and Qatar in the Middle East," his parents continued.
"After returning to England to continue his education in his teenage years, Mitchell attended the University of Hull where he received a first-class degree in computer software engineering.
"His passion for life was his family, music, nature and the outdoors - regularly participating in walks with the local Romsey Rambler Group and runs around the local community."
Anyone with any further information about the crash is urged to contact police.
