Tributes paid to 'devoted husband' killed in crash

Gordon Fox's family has paid tribute to him

Relatives of a man who died in a crash said they felt "blessed to have been a part of his wholesome world".

Gordon Fox, 59, was driving a Ford Transit van on the A142, near the junction with Sutton Road, Mepal, when it was involved in a collision with a lorry at about 07:20 GMT on Monday.

A 65-year-old man from Littleport was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, and Cambridgeshire Police said officers continued to appeal for witnesses and dashcam footage.

Mr Fox, who lived in Manea, was described by his family as a "loving stepfather, grandad, brother and uncle".

A tribute read: "There are very few words that can console our loss at this devastating time, however we are abundantly grateful to everyone who has expressed kind words of support.

"Many had their own fond memories over the years of knowing Gordon and the very special moments we all shared."

Mr Fox was heading towards Chatteris at the time of the collision, while the white DAF lorry was heading in the opposite direction.

The A142 was closed for a number of hours.
