THE devastated family of a teenage motorcyclist who was killed when his bike crashed have slammed vandals for destroying his memorial site. Tommy Young, 17, died last July after his motorbike struck a lamppost, in Frinton Road, Kirby Cross, near Parker’s Garden Company. Paramedics from the East of England Ambulance Service had rushed to the scene but, despite their best efforts, were unable to save his life. As the news of the Tendring Technology College student’s tragic death filtered through the village, an outpouring of grief saw hundreds of people send their condolences. In the days that followed the accident, a section of wall not far from the crash site started to become a shrine honouring Tommy’s memory.
