Tributes to Peterborough dad killed in Fenland collision as fundraising campaign in his memory begins
Tributes have been paid to a Peterborough dad who was killed in a collision in Fenland yesterday.
Police were called at about 7am to reports of a collision involving a silver Mitsubishi L200 and a pedestrian on the A141 at Wimblington.
The pedestrian, John Ulliot, 32, of Reeves Way, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Mitsubishi, a man in his 50s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The family of Mr Ulliot said today: “Our beloved son John sadly passed away and we are devasted. John leaves behind his fiancée Sarah and two beautiful sons, Sammie and Noah.
"This is yet another devastating blow for the family, as John sadly lost his new-born son Dean just before Christmas. He also leaves behind his mum, dad, brothers Ricki and Wade and his sister Kerrie.”
An online fundraising page has now been set up online to help pay for funeral costs.
The page, set up by Stephen Walton, says: "This is John Ulliot our 32 year old son who sadly passed away today at work.
"We are very heart broken and would be extremely thankful and appreciate any donations you can make. We are looking for some help towards his funeral costs."
The page has already raised £1,350
Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision or anyone who saw the vehicles in the moments leading up to the incident.
Anyone with information or dashcam footage should call 101 or report online quoting incident 39 of 11 January.
