Biker killed in Halesowen crash named as father-of-two Tom Winters
A motorcyclist who was killed when his bike crashed into a tree in Halesowen has today been named as father-of-two Tom Winters.
The 22-year-old, described as an 'adored father' by his family, died after crashing on the A456 Manor Way on Sunday.
"As a family we are all devastated by the sudden and tragic loss of Tom," a statement released by the family said.
"He was an adored father, son, husband, brother and friend and touched the lives of many with his kindness, compassion and beautiful humour.
"He leaves two sons aged three years and just one month in age. For this reason we ask that the family's privacy is respected at this difficult time."
Two ambulances and the Midlands Air Ambulance rushed to Manor Way after the crash happened near the Hagley Road junction at around 9.30am.
Passers-by and paramedics tried to save Mr Winters but the biker was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sgt Paul Hughes, from West Midlands Police's Collision Investigation Unit, said: "This is a tragic time for the family and I would ask that people respect their wishes in terms of privacy. They continue to receive support from our Family Liaison Team.
"I am grateful for the help and information that has been provided by members of the public."
