Police today named the victim of the collision in Sheffield as 20-year-old Sam Pickering, who was described by loved ones as a "loud and proud person with a huge personality".

Mr Pickering had been riding his grey Yamaha motorbike along Langsett Road North, near to the junction with Bedford Road, when it was reported he lost control.

He was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which happened at around 7.45am on Sunday.

His mum, Lorna, and step-dad, Ian, said: "Easter Sunday 2017 will be a day never to be forgotten as it is the day my beautiful son, Sam, lost his life whilst on his way to attend the charity egg run for the Sheffield Children's Hospital along with his step-dad.

"Sam regularly attended the charity event after first going in 2005. He loved every minute of being able to meet other riders and spend time with friends such as James Toseland.

"Sam was a loud and proud person with a huge personality. He always had a smile on his face and only ever wanted to do good in life.

"Ride free my precious child, I will never forget you and we will love you forever.”

Mr Pickering’s dad, Stephen, added: “He was my son and friend and I will miss him”.
