Tribute to biker, 41, who died in village crash
Cambridgeshire PoliceThe family of a 41-year-old motorcyclist who died in a crash in Cambridgeshire have paid tribute to their "adored daddy" and "much-loved son".
Cambridgeshire Police said Ian Hyde, from Over, died after his Triumph motorbike and a crop sprayer collided on the B1050 Earith Road at Willingham at 20:00 BST on 1 July.
In a statement issued through police, his family said: "He walked into a room and brought instant sunshine, comfort and warmth with his humour, intelligence, kindness and huge heart."
A man in his 30s from Willingham, who was driving the farm vehicle, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has been bailed until 1 October, officers said.
Ian's family said he "was a sanctuary to so many close friends whose lives he made immeasurably brighter".
They added: "Passionate about running, music and cars, and always with a great eye for design, he was philosophical, artistic and tenacious. He approached life with 100% and a huge heart.
"He was our anchor, our light, and the very best version of us.
"We trusted him completely, and we take him with us in all that we do.
"We are so proud of the man you became. Loved unconditionally. Forever in our hearts."
Cambridgeshire Police has appealed for witnesses and dashcam footage.
