A family have paid a heartfelt tribute to a woman who died in a motorbike crash on Sunday (28 July).

A grey Audi A3 and a Kawasaki motorbike collided at around 2.20pm at the A684 junction with the M6 near Kendal and Sedbergh in Cumbria.

Beverley Hainsworth, 55, of Pickering, was the pillion passenger and died at the scene.

The mother of two had been travelling with her husband David “going to her favourite place – Keswick”.

Mr Hainsworth is in a stable condition in hospital, Cumbria Police said.

In a statement, the family said: “Bev was a much-loved wife to David, mother to David and Becky, daughter to Doreen and friend to many.

“Bev, always selfless and happy to help anyone, was sadly taken too soon.

“She was out doing something she loved with Dad on the bike going to her favourite place – Keswick.

“We will miss her every day and hope she is somewhere nice with people she loves.

“We want to say ‘Thank You’ to all the members of the public who helped and stayed with Mum, so she wasn’t on her own, the emergency services who came to their assistance and all the hospital staff who continue to care for Dad.”

Police are continuing to appeal for anyone who witnessed the collision or who has any other information which may assist to come forward.

They are particularly keen to hear from anyone who stopped at the scene, provided first aid, helped direct traffic or did anything else to assist.
