A family have paid tribute to a much-loved son, brother and uncle and his dog, who died following a serious road traffic collision.
Andrew Old (pictured) had been walking his dog, Liddy, when two cars collided – one of them striking the pair – on Greenwood Road in Wythenshawe.
The incident happened on Sunday, March 9.
Paying tribute to him, Andrew’s family said: “Andrew was our happy go lucky brother and he is so sadly missed by us all. We miss his smiles, his laughter, his jokes and his hourly phone calls. Words cannot describe the shock and disbelief that we feel due to the loss of Andrew, we are absolutely devastated.
“Andrew tragically died only metres from his home, whilst walking his lovely dog Liddy. The only solace we have is that Andrew and Liddy were not alone at such a horrific time and that they were together. Andrew and Liddy will always be in our hearts.”
A woman in her 40s, who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, was released on bail, police said.
