The family of a man who died in a crash in Hull last week (3 July) have paid tribute.

59-year-old Chakib was involved in the road traffic collision on Hedon Road.

Emergency services were called to the scene at around 7.30pm following reports of a collision involving a cyclist and a Volvo tipper at the junction of Emily Street, Hull.

Despite the efforts of emergency services, Chakib died at the scene.

In a statement his family said: "Chakib was a hard-working family man, known for his jolly nature and fooling around. Chakib - or ‘Tic Tac’, as he was known to his friends - was the owner of Queens Gardens News and Whitefriargate News.

''We will always remember his wise words: Live your life and make the most of it.”

Officers continue to appeal for anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who may have relevant CCTV or dashcam footage.
