Teenager who fell from car named

Mr Travers died in hospital three days after his fall

A teenager who died after falling off the roof of a moving car has been named by police.

Andrew Charles Travers, 18, died three days after he fell backwards off a Fiat Punto on to a private road in Chesterton, Warwickshire.

A woman, 18, from Southam, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and released on bail.

His parents said their son was "extremely talented and bright" and his life "brimmed with possibilities".

The teenager, from Kingston Barn Cottages, Chesterton, suffered serious head injuries in the incident.

Michelle and John Travers said he was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at the age of 10.

"By the time Andrew was 18 he had, despite difficulties, successfully forged an impressive and active life," they said.

"He was in his final year of sixth form, doing A Levels in media and history.

"He had an active social life in which he revelled at being the comedian."

He supported Coventry City and enjoyed watching films and was the drummer in a band, they added.

"Andrew's future brimmed with possibilities. The band was going from strength to strength, he had job offers but was also thinking about university and joining the fire service.

"At an athletic 6' 2" Andrew made his presence felt, not just physically. He was an extremely talented, bright and ferociously quick-witted young man who deeply affected everyone who knew him."
