A 61-year-old man who was tragically killed in a collision in north Manchester on Tuesday (December 2) has been named and pictured for the first time.
Jason Parr suffered fatal injuries after his e-bike collided with two pedestrians on Rochdale Road in Blackley at around 8.45pm. He was tragically pronounced dead at the scene while the pedestrians were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
In a tribute released through Greater Manchester Police, Jason’s daughter Samantha paid tribute to her ‘one-of-a-kind’ dad who would be ‘missed forever. She said: “We are heartbroken and devastated by the sudden loss of our dad Jason, who was killed in a traffic accident. His absence has left a huge void in our lives, and we are struggling to come to terms with this tragedy.
“It doesn’t feel real, and the shock and pain is overwhelming. He was one of a kind, known for his humour and could make anyone laugh, he was loved by many. My dad meant the world to us and will be sadly missed forever.”
Announcing the news on social media, Samantha shared photos of Jason, with more than 150 people paying their respects in the comments. “So sorry for your loss, what a top bloke he was,” wrote one tribute.
“What a top man with the biggest heart,” wrote another. “I’ll hold some top memories of him.”
Bunches of flowers, including one wrapped in tinsel, have been left at the scene close to where the crash took place. GMP say their Serious Collision Investigation Unit are continuing their enquiries into the incident.
