On Sunday, Leo Moran was killed in a horrific collision on Gosford Street.
A bereaved family paid homage to their ‘wonderful’ son who died in a car accident in Coventry. On September 3, Leo Moran was one of two persons killed after they were hit by the same car.
Mr Moran, 44, was killed after being hit by a car on Gosford Street. He died shortly after the fatal collision, which occurred approximately 8 a.m.
His family said in a statement today that the 44-year-old offered ‘joy and happiness to everyone.’ Following the tragedy, officers from West Midlands Police were assisting his loved ones.
