Rossett School pays tribute to ex-student Sam Gibson, 24
Sam Gibson, 24, died when his car left the A59 at Upper Poppleton and landed on its roof. Rossett School says he was a popular student who appeared in many theatre performances.
Rossett School has paid tribute to Harrogate man and former student Sam Gibson, who has died in a car crash.
Police officers responded to reports of a vehicle leaving the road on the A59 near Upper Poppleton, between the junctions of Newlands Lane and Hodgson Lane, at about 7am on Sunday.
They discovered Mr Gibson's grey Peugeot 208 car, which had left the road and landed on its roof.
The 24-year-old was certified dead at the scene.
Rossett School described Mr Gibson as a popular student who was a regular in theatrical performances.
A school spokesperson said:
"Sam was a popular student in both the lower school and in the sixth form. A leading light in the performing arts, he performed and supported other students in classic productions such as ‘Oliver!’ when he was here at Rossett.
"He will be remembered as someone who was a friend to many; a champion for those less fortunate than him and an active fundraiser for charity. The thoughts of the whole Rossett community are with Sam’s family at this difficult time."
