A binman killed in a horror crash that saw a lorry smash into a house has been pictured as his family have paid tribute.
Andzie “Stan” Stanik, who was named locally last night, after he tragically lost his life in the crash in Leominster yesterday (November 11).
In a message from his family via local Facebook page Your Herefordshire, tributes were paid to the Stanik after he spent 25 years “on the bins”.
The post read: “Dad was ‘on the bins’ around the Herefordshire area for over 25 years so we know his friendly face will be missed. We are sorry to share this news with you all.

“None of us imagined that our most recent goodbye would be our final one; and that the simple, mundane moments we shared would suddenly become the ones we treasure the most.
“It feels surreal to wake up on an ordinary Tuesday and have someone taken from your life so suddenly and cruelly and as a family, we are struggling to comprehend what has happened. We do hope that you can respect our privacy and leave the police to investigate today’s events comprehensively without online speculation so that we can get the answers we deserve.”
