Grieving friends have laid flowers and messages at the crossing where a man was killed last night (Monday) in a hit and run accident on Stanningley Road.

James Gilbey, 25, who worked for British Gas, was crossing at the traffic lights near Hough Lane when he was hit by a car.

James’ girlfriend, Gaby Whithey, wrote: “A sunflower for my sunshine, a rose for my heart. I will love you until my dying day.”
