Tributes paid to teenager Zebedee Watson killed in crash just days after passing driving test

Tributes have been paid to a teen killed in a crash - just days after passing his driving test. Zebedee Watson was riding his motorcycle when it was involved in a crash in Poole, Dorset, on November 28.

The 17-year-old had passed his driving test on November 19, just nine days before he was involved in a crash with a DAF truck at around 5pm at the Hole Bay roundabout in the coastal town of Poole.

Now, his family has paid tribute to a young man "full of life" and who was looking forward to taking on a plumbing apprenticeship after finishing a college course in the trade.

"Zebedee Watson was a 17-year-old boy, he was full of life and had his whole future ahead of him," the family said. "He had passed his driving test, first time, on November 19 and was so looking forward to driving his own car, his upcoming 18th birthday, and a promising future.

"Zeb was thriving at college on a plumbing course and was working hard to secure an apprenticeship in the field he loved. Previous to this, Zeb attended King Arthur’s Secondary School in Wincanton.

"Zeb leaves behind a heartbroken younger sister, aged 15, and a treasured little brother, aged three, who adored him. He cared for them deeply and was proudly the 'man of the house'.

"He will always be a loving son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and a wonderful friend to so many. His warmth, kindness, and spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him."

Dorset Police are still appealing for information from anyone who witnessed the crash, or the circumstances before it, on 101, quoting reference 55250175506, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
