That's shoching very sad news.

Just terrible. My thoughts are with his family

Very sad news, thoughts are with Adam’s family and friends

RIP Adam. Thoughts go out to family and friends.

So sad, loved his comments on the forum, his artwork and seemed like a genuinely good guy. Life sucks sometimes and this is one of those times. RIP and best wishes to family and friends ..

Awful news, much love and strength for all those near him.

Ah man, this is awful news. He was such a lovely guy; I admired his work in the arts thread and asked whether he'd be interested in a commission. He did an amazing picture of my folks' place for their Christmas present this year and was very reluctant to accept anything for it. Looking back we were messaging on 9th Dec about what frame to get for it etc. It will be an even more treasured item now. Sending love to his family and friends. RIP.

How dreadful. RIP Adam.

So sad. All the reports I can see only mention that he was killed on the B58 New Line, a road to the north-west of Carrickfergus, without any further details.

He is also, sadly, mentioned in numerous articles about a rising trend in road traffic fatalities in Northern Ireland, in particular in the past year.

RIP Adam.

I remember that picture, he was a very talented artist.

RIP Adam.

Really admired his work and enthusiasm in the arts thread.

Absolutely heartbreaking. My love to all his nearest and dearest, RIP Adam :'(
