'Together we can continue to honour Lee’s memory' - Tributes pour in for 27-year-old motorcyclist who died in tragic accident in Tividale
Tributes are pouring in for the 27-year-old motorcyclist who died in a tragic accident in Tividale.
Lee Williams, a window fitter from Sandwell, was pronounced dead by paramedic officers after the motorcycle he was travelling on crashed into the central reservation of New Birmingham Road, on its junction with Hilton Road, Tividale, at around 2.35pm on Friday, September 19.
Tributes of flowers and heartfelt messages had been placed at the scene of the crash, and an online fundraiser has been launched to support Lee's family during this 'incredibly difficult time', organiser Cara Duggan said.
Over £5,000 has been raised already by more than 80 donors since the GoFundMe page was set up on Monday, September 22.
"We are truly overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity, and love shown so far," Cara Duggan said. "Every single donation, share, and message of support means more than words can say.
"Lee was such a big character who touched so many lives, and seeing how many people cared for him is a real comfort to his family.
"Please keep sharing this page far and wide, together we can continue to honour Lee’s memory and give his family the support they need during this difficult time. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
"Ride in paradise, Lee."
Lee's funeral will take place at Rowley Regis Crematorium on October 16 at 2.30pm.
