The driver of a car which crashed into a roundabout killing the front seat passenger is wanted by police for breaching his bail.
Antino Vital, 24, from Epsom, was driving a black Citroen Saxo which crashed into a roundabout on Longmead Road, on September 12 last year, and father-of-one Fabio Horta, 21, who was travelling in the passenger seat, died in the crash.
Mr Vital was due to appear at Epsom Police Station on Friday (February 5).
Last year, Fabio’s distraught parents Maria Garcia and Manuel Horta, and sister Andreia, eight, of Lincoln Walk, told the Epsom Guardian of their pain.
Mrs Garcia said: “This is very hard for us. Fabio was such a good boy. He was good to everyone and would always help us out.
“We would speak on the phone every day and he would come here before going to work. He was the son every mother would wish for. A lovely, lovely boy.”
“Every Sunday he would come here to watch his younger sister, so I could go to work. We miss him so much.”
Fabio, originally from Alentejo, Portugal, moved to Epsom with his parents when he was eight, where he attended Epsom and Ewell Primary School and Epsom and Ewell High School.
Mr Horta said: “He spoke English very well and would help lots of Portuguese and Brazilian people from the community. They would all go to him and he was always very patient and kind.”
The tyre fitter, who worked for K&P in Epsom, lived in Blenheim Road with 10-month-old daughter, Crystal and her mother Cherri Aldridge, 19, who after the accident left flowers and a letter at the scene of the crash.
Fabio’s partner’s tribute read: “Crystal’s bedroom is going to have memories of you everywhere. I can’t believe that this has happened to the world’s most kind and caring person and such a wonderful dad that you are.”
A Surrey Police spokeswoman said: “Antino Vital, 24, from Epsom, is wanted in connection with breaching his bail. Enquiries are on-going to locate him.”
