Romanian poster boy for immigration Victor Spirescu who was met at the airport by Keith Vaz is killed in Buckinghamshire car crash
His distraught fiancée has paid tribute to the 'most wonderful man on the planet'
A POSTER boy for Romanian immigration into the UK who was greeted by MP Keith Vaz at the airport has been named as a victim of a fatal car crash.
Victor Spirescu died in a smash on the A509 in Chicheley Hill, Buckinghamshire, in the early hours of Monday morning.
The 33-year-old died instantly in the single-car crash just a mile away from the home he shared with Suzana in Milton Keynes.
A 25-year-old man who was also travelling in the black Mitsubishi Galant escaped with minor injuries.
Mr Spirescu's fiancée Suzana Mates told MailOnline she was "exhausted and devastated" by the shocking news.
Originally from Sibiu County in central Romania, Mr Spirescu was seen as a success story for ambitious immigrants after setting up his own construction business on moving to the country.
He made headlines when the Labour MP greeted him at Costa in Luton Airport in 2014, after rules preventing migrants from new EU members moving to the UK were lifted.
23-year-old Suzana has paid tribute to the "most wonderful man on the planet".
She told MailOnline: "There are a lot of people who know him and love him.
"He told everyone that we were going to get married, he was so excited.
"We were planning the wedding, he proposed to me, we were so happy."
Distraught Suzana said they would book a chapel in London "where everyone can come and celebrate his life".
She added: "There was no ring because rings are meaningless and the love we had was so inexplicable, so unexplained, we were crazy about each other.
"I am just so lost, I'm so confused, I don't believe this is happening and that he isn't coming back.
"He was the most wonderful man on this planet and I loved him so very much."
When he first arrived in the UK, Mr Spirescu told reporters he did not want to "rob your country" and said he wanted to get a job, earn money and then return to Romania.
The ex-soldier first started working as a car washer, before setting up ventilation company Air Vent Systems LTD.
Friends wrote tributes to Mr Spirescu on social media, with one posting: "God takes friends, you were the best".
Keith Vaz, who met Mr Spirescu as the then home affairs select committee chair, told Sun Online: "I am deeply shocked and saddened with this news coming almost exactly four years since Victor arrived in the UK.
"He was so excited about starting a new life in Britain. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family."
A 25-year-old man from Milton Keynes was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving but has now been released.
