Family pays tribute to 18-year-old Nojukas Korzeniauskas who was pronounced dead at scene of A47 crash in Guyhirn

The family of a young man who died in a crash involving a car and a bus at the weekend have paid tribute to their “light, joy and pride”.

Police have today named Nojukas Korzeniauskas, 18, of Cygnet Crescent in March as the victim of Saturday’s collision, on the A47 at Guyhirn.

His family said: “Our dearest Nojukas, you were always our light, our joy, our pride, a part of our hearts.

“Your smile lit up every room, and your laughter was music to our home. Though your journey here was far too short, your presence was a miracle full of endless love.

“We – your mama, dad, and brother – say goodbye not as to someone gone, but to someone who will always remain with us, in our memories, our dreams, our hearts.

“Each day without you is full of longing, but each day with your memory is full of love. Rest in peace, our sweet Nojukas. We love you endlessly. Always. Mama, Dad, and Brother.”

Nojukas, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was driving a silver Mazda MX-5 when it was in collision with a Scania double-decker bus at about 2.45pm on Saturday.

Six passengers from the bus were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn with minor injuries.

Sergeant Mark Atkins said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who sadly lost his life. His family is being supported by our specially trained family liaison officers.

“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances, and we are appealing to anyone who saw the collision to contact us.”
