The family of a motorcyclist who died following a collision on the A6 in Bedford Borough last week has paid tribute to a man they say will be “deeply missed by everyone that knew him”.
Daniel Morrell, 37, died at the scene near Souldrop at around 6am on Thursday (7 August) following a collision involving his motorcycle and a blue VW Polo.
In a tribute, Daniel’s wife Charlotte said: “My Daniel was a beloved husband and father to his beautiful girls, son, brother, son-in-law and uncle.
“Daniel was many wonderful things to many different people. He always had time for everyone. He’ll be deeply missed by everyone that knew him, no words can express the hole he has left in our lives.”
The family has requested privacy during this time.
Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses and dash cam footage from anyone who may have seen either vehicle in the moments leading up to the collision.
Detective Sergeant Craig Wheeler from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “Our thoughts are with Daniel’s loved ones at this time. This was a heart-breaking collision which has left everyone who knew Daniel devastated.
“I would urge that the family’s privacy is respected during this tragic time. I would also like to appeal to anyone that may have seen either the blue VW Polo or the motorcycle prior to the collision, to get in touch.”
Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact Bedfordshire Police via 101 or online, quoting Operation Canada.
