The parents of Greg Woledge, 24, who was killed after the van he was driving plunged off the Maungatapu Causeway bridge in a horrific crash on Monday night have spoken out.

Parents Kevin and Vivienne Woledge described Greg as a loving, diligent and devoted person and a caring fine son.

"Greg was a healthy 24 year old who had everything to live for. Greg and partner Chelsea were looking forward to the birth of their second child in a few months. He was a gentle caring dad and a loving partner"

Kevin and Vivienne described Greg and his sister Emma  love for each other and were the very best of friends.

Greg had just become a qualified electrician and thought the world of the people he worked with and was looking forward to the future. He was a very keen sports person – snow boarding, mountain biking and crossfit. Greg will be sadly missed by us all.
