The sixth person who died in a horrific crash on the M25 has been named by police.

Michael Hutchinson, 44, from Rugby, was driving a recovery vehicle which collided with a lorry on the Surrey stretch of the motorway.

Five of his six passengers also died, who have all been named.

A sixth passenger, Benjamin Pert, remains in Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead after undergoing facial surgery.

The six passengers were part of a group of 13 men who had been on a stag weekend.

The minibus they were travelling in broke down on the M1 as they returned from Leicestershire.

Mr Hutchinson was driving the recovery vehicle which collected the minibus and was taking the men home to Brighton.

Seven others, including groom-to-be James Forrer, had been taken in a different vehicle and were not involved in the crash which happened at 2.15am between junctions 8 and 9, Reigate and Leatherhead.

Crash investigators hope Mr Pert will be able to help with their investigation into the cause of the crash when he is well enough to be interviewed more fully.

Police described it as one of the worst collisions to have occurred on the M25.

The impact killed Andrew Graney, 29, Jonathan Chandler, 26, Rohan Chadwick, 27, and doctors Matthew O'Donnell, 30, and Christopher Janaway, 28.

In an emotional tribute to his "five beautiful friends", groom-to-be James Forrer said they had shared a "terrific weekend's celebration... filled with laughter" in Leicestershire.

It has yet to be decided whether he and his fiancee will postpone their wedding.

Peter Coles, chief executive of Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust, paid tribute to Dr Janaway and Dr O'Donnell, saying: "Both Chris and Matt were popular and highly respected. They will be sadly missed by those who worked with and alongside them."

Mr Chandler's sister Emma Chandler said he had a "passionate outlook on life" and there were "not enough hours in the day" for him to achieve all he wanted to, including getting his band Mojo Fins off the ground.

Police confirmed that the recovery vehicle was set up to seat seven people, one driver and six passengers, safely and with proper seat belts.

The driver of the HGV was uninjured. He is being treated as a witness and has been helping police with their inquiries.
