The family of a man who died following a collision in Cantley has been named by his family.

Police were called on Saturday the 21st June at 11.30pm to a collision involving a white Vauxhall Astra GTC and pedestrian on Bawtry Road.

The pedestrian, a 55-year-old man, sadly died at the scene, and his family has named him as Chris Greenaway.

A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop and causing death by dangerous driving.

Chris’ family said:

“On Saturday 21 June our lives changed forever when Chris was involved in a collision that took his life.

“The messages received in tribute to Chris echo what we, as his family, knew him to be - a man with the biggest heart, an even bigger smile and the ability to find joy in the smallest of things.

“Chris will always be remembered for his laughter, his love of animals, his passion for Liverpool FC and the unwavering love and kindness he gave to all who knew him.”

Chris’ family added:

“If anybody has any information to share with the police, no matter how small, we would urge you to contact them. In time, we may have the answers we need in relation to Chris’s death.

“We thank you for your kind words and ask that you continue to respect our privacy whilst we grieve.”
