Tribute to man killed in police pursuit
3:42pm Tue 5th Aug 08:: written by Francis Batt
The family of the young man killed in a collision on the A308 on Saturday night, have paid tribute to him.
Christopher James Ramirez, 23, died after his blue Vauxhall car was in collision with two other vehicles on the Windsor Road outside the Oakley Court hotel at about 11.40pm.
In a statement released by his family today, his sister Suzie Shearer said: "Chris was the life and soul of the party, always smiling, cracking jokes and doing his crazy 'skipping' dance.
"Chris lived life to the full and was deeply loved by his family and friends. Our hearts are broken and will never recover."
Originally from London, Chris came to live with his sister Suzie in Windsor in 2003.
He was known to friends as 'Romez'.
It is understood his car was being followed by a marked police vehicle at the time of the collision.
An investigation has been launched and the matter has been referred to the Police Complaints Commission.
A female who was in the front passenger seat of the car remains in a serious condition in hospital.

- Rest In Peace Chris - your be missed by everyone, Windsor wont be the same without you
- Sad story but Chris told some stories of mad car chases. Sad he did not grow up sooner. RIP
- the driver of the car did not know the police where following him, they were going to pull him over, but by the time they had pulled out of the layby his car was not in sight. so they headed in the direction he was going in and came across the crash scene.at no time was there a chase ,so until you know the facts why comment about the other cars..keep your useless opinions to yourself.. have the police spoken to you ? i guess not..
- Builder, you obviously didn't know Chris. There was in fact noooooo car chase so until you have the facts don't react and put pointless comments on a news report. Highly disrespectful. Chris, I love you and miss you every day. There isn't a minute that goes by when I don't think of you. xxx
- my husband met chris a few times through their much loved cars.I did not meet him myself but my husband said that he was a really nice guy.Our thoughts are with his family and his friends.R.I.P chris.xx
