A FARTOWN man was killed in a crash on the M62.

Paul Bravo died after losing control of his car near to Hartshead Moor Services on Sunday night.

The 42-year-old was a sales and marketing manager for a web design company based in Huddersfield.

He attended Salendine Nook High School and left in 1983.

Police are now appealing for witnesses following the fatal road traffic incident.

A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said: “It occurred at about 9.40pm near Hartshead Moor Services at Junction 26.

“A silver Ford Focus apparently lost control while in the near side lane before coming to rest in the central reservation.

“The driver, a 42-year-old Huddersfield man, was pronounced dead at the scene following the incident.”

Friends said Mr Bravo was a keen footballer and played for Lindley Liberal Club.

He is also believed to have previously run a pub in Birkby.
