A young man was killed in a head-on collision with a car while out riding his motorbike along the A164.

Kieran Steven Lovell, of Cranswick Close, Leconfield died at the scene of the crash, near the Leconfield Defence School of Transport (DST) on Saturday 20 April.

Those who knew the 20-year-old have left flowers and tributes along the side of the road where he died.

Mr Lovell worked for Sodexo within the DST Normandy Barracks but had left at the end of January this year to begin another job.

Commandant Colonel Rob Peacock at DST, said: “I was deeply saddened to hear the news of the accident. As a father and someone who lives so close to where this happened I cannot begin to imagine how difficult this must be for his family.

“Kieran was a part of our community and well known to many here – he worked inside DST, was part of a family which has lived and worked in DST and we all feel the loss so much more personally.

“We will do all we can to offer support to the family at this difficult time.”

Gwenyth Southall, who was Mr Lovell’s Year Leader at Longcroft School during his time there from year seven to year 11 remembered him to the Driffield Times and Post as a student who “always had a smile on his face.”

She said: “He was very popular in his year, he had lots of friends and he never took umbrage with anything - you could tell him off and it didn’t affect your relationship with him.

“He did enjoy playing sport and football was what he enjoyed the most.

“I was his RE teacher and he enjoyed discussion in class. He was always punctual, always smart and his attendance was superb.”

The crash happened between a 25-year-old driver of a silver Citroen Saxo which was travelling in the opposite direction to Mr Lovell, who was heading towards Beverley on his orange Superbike RM125 at around 8.40pm.

The car driver suffered a head injury and was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary where he stayed over night for observations.

The road was closed until 4.15am on Sunday 21 April to allow emergency services to carry out their work at the scene.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision and anyone with information is asked to contact Humberside Police on the non-emergency number 101 referring to log 801 of 20 April 2013.
