A family has paid tribute to a ‘devoted’ family man who died in a motorcycle crash near Tuxford.

47-year-old Michael Chadwick died following a single-vehicle collision on the A6097 Ollerton Road, between Kirton and Tuxford, on October 28, 2025.

Emergency services were called at 12.55pm but Mr Chadwick was pronounced dead at the scene, despite the best efforts of people who stopped to help and first responders.

Mr Chadwick’s family, who are being supported by specialist family liaison officers, have released a statement paying tribute to him.

It reads: “Michael was a loveable and funny man, who never took anything for granted.

“He was a devoted family man and would do anything for anyone.

“He was loved very deeply by his wife, three daughters, his grandchildren and all his family. He will be deeply missed and sorrows run deep, he will never be forgotten.”

Officers from the force’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit are appealing for anyone with information about the incident or dashcam footage which could assist with inquiries to get in touch.

Detective Constable Andy Fawcett said: “Mr Chadwick’s family have been through a heartbreaking ordeal and we will continue to support them.

“We have already spoken to a number of witnesses. However, this collision took place on a major road in the middle of the day so there may be people with information and dashcam footage who have not yet been in touch.

“I’d encourage them to contact us without delay as our investigations continue.”

Anyone who can help should call 101, quoting incident number 304 of 28 October 2025, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
