Tributes have been paid to a cyclist who died on Monday (11 May), following a collision with a car on Friday (8 May).

The family of 50-year-old Richard Smith have paid the following tribute to him:

“A much loved partner, dad, brother, son, friend and colleague has sadly died after an incident on Friday May 8th 2026.

"We are all struggling to make sense of such a tragic loss to all of our lives. Rich was a keen NCFC supporter, a blood and organ donor and a proud dad to his three children.

"We will remember him with love and kindness and for some truly terrible dance moves.”

Richard tragically died in hospital following serious injuries sustained in a collision involving a white Mercedes CLA 180 Sport car.

The incident, reported as a deliberate act, occurred on Chartwell Road in Norwich on Friday, 8th May, just after 5pm.

David Morgan, 40, of George Winter Court, has been charged with attempted murder and driving under the influence of alcohol.
