Tribute to driver after crash with Lamborghini

David Ward suffered a medical episode at the time of the crash and died at the scene, say police

A man who died in a crash with a Lamborghini was a devoted husband, proud father-of-four and a loving grandfather to seven, his family said.

David Ward was driving a Vauxhall Viva on Crewe Road, Sandbach when the collision with the black supercar happened, at about 10:00 GMT on Thursday 13 November.

It has since been established the 86-year-old suffered a fatal medical episode at the time of the crash, said Cheshire Police.

In tribute, Mr Ward's family said they were at the heart of everything he did, and his love was shown "not through grand gestures, but through steady support, quiet wisdom, and the warm, reassuring kindness and humour he offered so naturally."

Mr Ward, from Winterley, found joy in "simple, peaceful moments, fishing by the water, tending to his garden, walking familiar paths and cycling with ease and freedom," they said.

"These were the places where he felt most connected to the world, and where many of us picture him now."

Police have thanked people for their help during the crash investigation.
