Tributes paid to 'devoted' great-grandfather killed in collision with road sweeper in Leicester
87-year-old Joginder Singh died earlier this week
The family of an elderly man who was fatally struck by a road sweeper have paid tribute to him as a "very humbled, devoted" great-grandfather.
Joginder Singh, 87, died after the collision in Holy Bones, Leicester, outside the Guru Nanak Gurdwara, where he was the vice president and one of the founding members, Leicestershire Police said.
Officers were called to the scene by East Midlands Ambulance Service just before 2.15pm on Monday, but police said Mr Singh, a pedestrian, died a few hours after he was taken to hospital.
The force said the collision involved "a council road-sweeping vehicle".
A 63-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving but police said he has since been released under investigation.
The family of Mr Singh, who visited the temple daily, and members of the gurdwara, said in a tribute: "He was a very humbled, devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and someone who made an amazing contribution to the Sikh community in Leicester.
"We are devastated by the loss and extremely shocked by what has happened.
"He was a great person and a devoted member of the gurdwara - someone who selflessly and tirelessly contributed to making a real difference.
"His death is being felt by so many people."
