The family of an 18-year-old driver who died following a crash have described him as "always our light – our joy, our pride, a part of our hearts".

Nojukas Korzeniauskas died at the scene of the collision on the A47 at Guyhirn in Cambridgeshire at about 14:45 BST on Saturday.

"Though your journey here was far too short, your presence was a miracle full of endless love," his parents and brother said of the teenager, who lived at Cygnet Crescent in March.

Cambridgeshire Police said officers continue to appeal for witnesses or dashcam footage of the collision.

A tribute, issued via the police force, read: "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.

"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."

Mr Korzeniauskas was driving a silver Mazda MX-5 at the time of the collision with the Scania double-decker bus.

The road was closed between the Rings End roundabout and Wisbech for several hours.
