Family tribute to crash biker
The family of a Scarborough motorcyclist killed in a crash in East Yorkshire have paid tribute to him.
David Sixsmith, 64, from Scarborough, was riding along the B1259 Scarborough Road when he was struck by a car between Driffield and Langtoft.
It happened on Monday November 14, at about 5.30pm.
Mr Sixsmith died in hospital from his injuries.
The Sixsmith family said: “David was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.
"He loved his family, his job and vintage ploughing matches, and enjoyed canal
boat holidays and World War Two planes.
“He enjoyed being with his friends and just life in general.
"He was so kind and generous and would help anyone.”
His niece Molly Sixsmith added on Facebook: “Unfortunately this time it’s our family who’s suffered not just a loss but a husband, father, son, brother, uncle and grandad.
"David was one of a kind, the most loving man you could ever meet, he’d do anything for anyone.
"And what makes it 10 times worse is that this could have easily been avoided.
“Rest in peace David, you will be missed for eternity.”
Humberside Police said: “We would ask anyone who has information about the collision, or who has dashcam footage from the scene, to get in touch with us on our nonemergency number 101, quoting log 418 of November 14.”
After the incident, police said that a black Volkswagen Passat had been in collision with a white Honda XL bike.
