The family of a 22 year old man has paid tribute after he was killed in a crash in Bradford last week.

Joshua Oxley was on an e-bike which collided with a moped on Great Horton Road last Friday (June 19).

Two men aged 22 and 27 years old have been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and have since been bailed.

In a tribute, Joshua's family wrote: “Our Joshy was the kindest person you could ever meet, he had a heart of gold and cared for others more than himself."

"Even through the tough years we have faced together as a family, Joshy has never failed to have a smile on his face and always cheer up others.

“Forever 22 our gentle giant, we love you, and you will always be missed.

“As a family we are heartbroken. We appreciate, and have taken comfort in the kind words and condolences offered.

"However, we ask people not to speculate online surrounding the circumstances of Josh’s death and ask for privacy at this extremely difficult time.”
