Tom Zmiko, who was 26, was thrown from his bike in Teddesley Road last Monday.

He had to be resuscitated by paramedics after going into cardiac arrest and was airlifted to Royal Stoke University Hospital but died shortly after arrival.

His friends and family have launched a fundraising drive to help pay for funeral costs. They aimed to raise £1,000 but the total currently stands at £1,600.

Mr Zmiko lived in Oaks Drive, Featherstone, was riding a blue Kawasaki motorcycle and it was in collision with a red Toyota Land Cruiser.

Friend of the family, Rebecca Finney-Edwards, is also holding an online auction. It runs from Thursday until April 19.
