Aylesbury man dies in car crash between Tring and Chesham

At around 2.50pm on Friday, July 9, a black Seat Ibiza was involved in an incident with a van on the southbound carriageway, between Tring and Chesham on the A41.

The driver of the Seat, Jorell Pascal, from Aylesbury sadly passed away at the scene.

What Hertfordshire Police said

Following his tragic and sudden passing, Jorell’s family have paid tribute to the 18-year-old, by saying: “This has been a tragic loss to our family; a young man was prematurely taken from us before achieving his potential.

“Jorell also represented Buckinghamshire County Hockey Association in the Southern County leagues. Jorell leaves a big hole in our lives.”

Since his death, the driver of the van - a man aged in his 50s - was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Detective Sergeant David Burstow from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts remain with Jorell’s family and friends at what continues to be an incredibly difficult time.

“We would politely request that their privacy is respected.

“Enquiries are continuing to establish how the collision occurred.

“We are still appealing for anyone who was travelling along the bypass and saw the car, which we believe may have been broken down in lane one prior to the collision, or witnessed the collision itself to please get in touch.

A fundraiser has been created to help Jorell's family

“If you have a dash cam fitted to your vehicle and were driving on the bypass please check it to see if you have captured anything that may assist our investigation.”
