The family of a York man who died when his bike was in collision with a car have paid a moving tribute to him.
Police today named him as James Oliver Thomas Moore-Carnell, 29, of Stockton Lane.
The collision occurred just before 1am on Sunday 14 July on Stockton Lane, heading away from the city, involving a black Toyota Auris and a black and gold trim bicycle.
The driver of the Auris, a 37-year-old man, was arrested in relation to causing death by driving without due care and attention and has been released under investigation whilst enquiries continue.
‘A heart of gold’
-
James was a kind, honest and genuine person with a heart of gold. He was a very hard working young man who was respected and loved by all who met and knew him.
He lived life to the full and will always be remembered as a much loved son, brother, uncle, brother-in-law and friend.
Officers have renewed their appeal for witnesses or anyone with CCTV or dash-cam footage to contact them, so they can establish the full circumstances around the incident.
They would particularly like to hear from anyone who had been dropped off by a taxi in the area at the time.
The family have asked that their privacy is respected during this very unexpected and difficult situation.
