‘He was much loved’: Tributes paid to North Yorkshire biker, 26, who died in crash at junction

The family of a North Yorkshire man who died when his motorbike was involved in a crash have paid a loving tribute to him.

Gregory Peter Newcombe, 26, was riding his mustard-coloured Harley Davidson on the A684 from Bedale towards Crakehall at around 2.40pm on Sunday.

It then collided with a bronze-coloured five-door Ford Fiesta that had joined the road from Sinks Lane.

Mr Newcombe, from Romanby, Northallerton, suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by an air ambulance doctor.

We are deeply saddened to announce the loss of Greg on Sunday. He was a much-loved son, brother and great friend to many.

We would like to thank the emergency services and passers-by who stopped to help and were with him as he passed away.
