The family of a man who died in a crash near Ely say they "feel blessed to have been a part of his wholesome world."

59-year-old Gordon Fox, from Manea, died on Monday morning, after his Transit Van was involved in a crash with a DAF lorry, heading towards Chatteris.

They were driving in opposite directions.

Gordon's family have now paid tribute to him, describing him as a "devoted husband" and "nurturing grandad".

“Gordon was a devoted husband, loving stepfather, nurturing grandad and a wonderful brother and uncle, and all his family feel blessed to have been a part of his wholesome world.

“There are very few words that can console our loss at this devastating time, however we are abundantly grateful to everyone who has expressed kind words of support, especially as many had their own fond memories over the years of knowing Gordon and the very special moments we all shared.”

A police appeal for witnesses and information is ongoing, as well as dash cam footage.

A 65-year-old man from Littleport has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
