Leo Moran, 44, was today named as the second victim of the horror crash which happened at around 8am on Sunday.

Emergency services rushed to the scene but nothing could be done to save either of the men despite the efforts of medics. A a 33-year-old man who fled the scene on foot after smashing into a house nearby was arrested by police on suspicion of murder. He has since been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and West Midlands Police are not looking for anybody else in connection with the tragedy. Leo's devastated family have now paid tribute to a man who brought 'fun and laughter' to everyone. In a statement issued via police, they said: "We are completely heartbroken at the loss of Leo, who was taken from us so soon. Leo was an amazing son, brother, uncle and friend to so many, he brought so much laughter and fun to all of our lives. We are now giving the police time to give us the answers that we will need to understand how and why this happened. This will be the only public statement we will be giving." Yesterday Joel's family paid tribute to the "kind and gentle" father-of-two who worked as a healthcare assistant at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire. They said: "Joel was a loving husband and father of two, who worked extremely hard as a healthcare assistant at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire. "He will be missed dearly by all that knew him. We thank all of the community for their continued support during this very difficult time. May he rest in peace and God bless his){kind=link}
