A motorcyclist who died in a crash in Derbyshire has been named as Luke Kemp.

The 22-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision between his black Kawasaki motorbike and a grey Mercedes A180 in Nottingham Road, Spondon, at about 20:45 GMT on Thursday 1 February.

Mr Kemp's family say he will be "deeply missed".

The driver of the Mercedes has attended a voluntary police interview, the force says.

He continues to help officers with their inquiries.

Police added a 20-year-old man, who was driving a BMW 3 series seen driving with the motorcyclist in the moments before the collision, was arrested in connection with the crash, but has since been released on bail.

Mr Kemp, who was from Borrowash, had been described by his family as a "friend to everyone he met".

In a tribute, they said: "Luke was devoted to his family; he was one of five siblings and was so proud of his brother and spoilt his younger sisters rotten.

"He always wanted to be with the family, even on New Year's Eve he was happiest at home with all of us."

They added Mr Kemp, who loved cars and had a passion for cooking, had a "great sense of humour and cared deeply about other people".

"We have so many special memories of Luke, particularly during the summer when he would buy the biggest paddling pool he could find and there'd be ice lollies all round," they said.

"The house was always full of activity when Luke was around, and he will be deeply missed."

Detectives investigating the crash say the driver of the Mercedes attended a voluntary police interview. He continues to help police with their inquiries, the force said.
