Heartbroken mum can finally say
MOTHER PAYS TRIBUTE TO SON AFTER DEVASTATING CRASH
A DEVASTATED mum has spoken of her relief after finally being able to bury her son weeks after a fatal crash in Bransholme.
Jenny Hobman was told her son Jack Madsen could not be returned to her after requests for a second postmortem.
Jack, 22, was riding his Honda motorcycle in Wawne Road, just a short distance from his home, on Saturday, August 29, when he was involved in a collision with a blue Volkswagen Polo.
The crash happened at the junction with Littleham Close, just before 6pm.
Emergency services quickly arrived, but Mr Madsen was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Last month Miss Hobman told the Mail she was desperate to see her son, but claims a second autopsy has been requested by an interested party.
Second post mortems can be requested by legal teams representing those involved in fatal accidents who face potential criminal proceedings.
At the time she said: “The interested party needs to pay for it themselves and they have been given 28 days to do so before it even takes place.
“I think that is disgusting to let a grieving family have to wait like this.
“It feels like Jack is being treated like a piece of meat.
“I go to the tree where he died three times a day because it is the only way I feel I can get close to him. He is my son, my baby.”
But now Jack’s body has finally been released and his funeral will take place on Monday.
Miss Hobman said: “It is a huge relief to have him returned finally and say a proper goodbye.
“Jack is going to have the best send off. He had such good friends and family.
“He is missed so much and loved so much by so many people.”
The funeral will be held at Eastern Cemetery but, with coronavirus restrictions in place, only 30 people can attend the service.
However, Jenny says there is another way people can say goodbye by visiting the site of the collision although people should social distance.
She said: “We will be leaving the house in Rufforth Garth at noon and we will be getting to the tree at 12.15pm for 15 minutes.
“This will be for the people that can’t be at Jack’s funeral.
“If people can meet at the tree him.”
Meanwhile, Humberside Police are still investigating circumstances and no one has so far been charged in relation to the crash.
A spokeswoman said: “Our investigations continue into the collision between a car and motorcyclist in Wawne Road in Hull on August 29.
“The collision sadly lead to the death of the motorcyclist at the scene of the collision.
“Our inquires so far have provided us with a number of witnesses and we have conducted a reconstruction of the collision to will be amazing for assist with our investigations.
“We continue to appeal for a dog walker who was at the junction where the collision took place as we believe they may have witnessed the incident and could help us.
“If this person could call us on our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 383 of August 29, 2020.”
Friends and family held a balloon release in his memory the day after and a huge number of cards, balloons and mementos were left at the scene of the crash.
Ms Hobman has paid an emotional tribute to her son.
She said: “He was an amazing lad.
“It was just Jack and me and in the house and he really looked after me.
“He was just lovely and fantastic. “He had lots of friends and the whole of Bransholme knew him.
“When he entered a room would light it up.
“He was known for being such a nice lad.
“He has a one-and-half-yearold daughter, but she is too young to understand what has happened.
“But he was a great dad, as well as a great son, brother, nephew, grandson, cousin and friend.” he
