Tributes paid by 'devastated' family to man, 27, hit by two cars on A31 in Hampshire

Alan Bloomer, 27, was killed after being hit by two cars in Lyndhurst.

His silver Ford Focus had hit the central reservation on the eastbound carriageway near Hangersley Hill, at 6.41pm last Friday.

The vehicle then continued along the A31 before stopping by the Rufus Stone services.

Mr Bloomer, of Bellevue Road, Southampton, then left the vehicle and crossed to the westbound side of the carriageway.

He collided with two vehicles and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mr Bloomer’s brother, John, paid tribute to him on behalf of the family.

In a statement shared by Hampshire constabulary, the tribute said: ‘This was a huge shock to everyone.

‘Our family are devastated that Alan has gone.

‘He probably didn't know how much he would be missed.

‘I want him to NEVER be forgotten!’
