The family of a man who died in a fatal collision on a Peterborough parkway have paid tribute to him.

Richard King, 45, of High Street, Fletton, died when the white Xpeng G6 he was driving was involved in a collision with an HGV at about 11.50am on Wednesday, May 6.

It happened on the eastbound carriageway of the A1139 Fletton Parkway, near the exit from the A1(M).

Richard was pronounced dead at the scene.

Richard's partner, Rebecca Cozens said: “Richard was a loving father, son, brother, and friend to many. He spent his whole working life on the railway, where he was a mentor to many.

“He was, however, at his happiest watching his beloved Arsenal with his two sons, Jack and Thomas.

“We will miss Richard more than words can do justice. His kindness, patience and strength left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.

“We loved him so much and losing him will hurt forever.”

Officers are appealing for information and dashcam footage from anyone who may have witnessed the collision or the vehicles in the moments leading up to it.
