Yahoo25-07-2025
The family of a motorcyclist who died after a crash involving two cars have said he was a "devoted father" who had "cheeky charm and enthusiasm for life".
Steven Morris, 38, was taken to hospital with serious injuries after the crash in Alfreton Road, Underwood, Nottinghamshire, on Sunday and died a short time later, despite the efforts of emergency workers.
Mr Morris's family described him as "a family man" who "touched so many lives".
Nottinghamshire Police said officers were called just before 20:00 BST and issued an appeal for anyone who saw any of the vehicles involved - a Harley Davidson motorcycle, a Volvo V90 and a Bentley Brooklands - before the crash.
In a statement, Mr Morris's family said: "We are so desperately heartbroken and devastated at the loss of our beloved Steven, known to those closest as Mo, who has been taken much too soon at the tender age of 38.
"We were incredibly fortunate to have called him our Steven and he will be loved always.
"We would like to thank all the emergency services and members of public present at the scene who helped Steven, it means a lot to know you were there."
Det Con Andrew Fawcett, of the force's serious collision investigation unit, confirmed Mr Morris's family were being supported by specially trained officers as an investigation into the crash continued.
"We know this has been a huge shock and very difficult time for Mr Morris's family as they try to come to terms with their loss," he added.

Man arrested on suspicion of GBH after video appeared to show activist Tommy Robinson walking near scene

A 42-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm in connection to an alleged assault at St Pancras station on 28 July. It comes after a video emerged, appearing to show the right-wing activist Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, walking back and forth next to a man lying motionless on the ground. Police said the man was arrested at Luton Airport shortly after 6.30pm, "following a notification that the man had boarded an incoming flight from Faro". "The man had been wanted for questioning after leaving the country to Tenerife in the early hours of 29 August following the incident at St Pancras," officers said. "He was arrested on suspicion of GBH (grievous bodily harm) and will now be taken to custody for questioning." Officers said they were called to the scene just after 8.40pm on Monday last week following reports of an assault. A man was taken to hospital with what police described as serious injuries. He was discharged last Wednesday.
