Tribute has today been paid to a man who died after a collision involving a car and motorcycle in Basingstoke.
Matthew Joseph Harris, 34, of Dankworth Road, Basingstoke, died after his Honda CRF motorcycle was involved in a collision with a Vauxhall Vectra just before 6.30pm on January 2.
Despite best efforts, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
In a statement released today, his partner said: “I just can't comprehend that he is gone, he was one in a million and he was unique! Our children couldn't have wanted a better daddy, you will missed beyond words, I will love you forever.”
His mother and father added: “Matt our beautiful Christmas boy gone but never forgotten. R. I. P love mum and dad, Kev and Clare.”
Enquiries into the exact circumstances of the collision are ongoing.
Officers investigating are keen to speak to the driver of a dark red or maroon van who was directly behind the Vectra at the time of the collision and could have important evidence.
