Biker killed in crash was 'Salford legend' - family

Father-of-three Pavè Corkovic, 60, "loved being a family man", his relatives said

A biker who died when his vehicle hit a central reservation was "a family man" who had "turned his life around" for his twin children, a tribute has said.

Pavè Corkovic, 60, died from his injuries after the crash on Albion Way in Salford on Saturday.

His family paid tribute to him, describing him as "our Salford legend" and saying they and his "many beloved friends" were "so proud" of how far he had come.

A 38-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has since been released on bail.

Greater Manchester Police said the father-of-three was riding a green Kawasaki bike near another motorcycle when he crashed.
