'I’ve lost my boy, the boy I absolutely adored' - Mum's heartbreaking tribute to teen who died in car crash alongside three friends

A heartbroken mum has paid tribute to her 'adored' son who died in a car crash alongside three friends in Wales.

Harvey Owen, 17, from Shrewsbury, was one of four teenagers who died in a single-vehicle road traffic collision earlier this week. He tragically passed away following a planned camping trip in Snowdonia National Park with Jevon Hirst, 16, Wilf Fitchett, 17, and Hugo Morris.

However, after the group failed to respond to messages from parents last Sunday and did not return home on Monday, they were reported missing. The group's Ford Fiesta was soon spotted on Tuesday near the village of Garegg on its roof.

Paying tribute to her son, Harvey’s mother said: “There are absolutely no words to describe the pain we are feeling at the loss of the most precious soul and no words to really explain how much of a special person Harvey was, but I will try my best.

“From the moment Harvey was born, he was special, a truly longed for baby who made me feel so complete and a much-wanted sibling for Yasmin. The bond between them was something every parent would dream of.

"He idolised his big sister and spent his whole life looking up to her and copying everything she ever did down to his quirky, sometimes questionable fashion sense and even his feminist views. Harvey grew up to be family orientated, he had two younger sisters, Sophia and Olivia who he absolutely adored and who idolised him, their big brother. He was never too old for a hug.

“I know it sounds like a cliche, but Harvey was a unique and special person
