John Thorogood

John Thorogood’s BMW R9 bike was involved in collision with a VW Camper Van near Lowesby on March 31st.

The 56-year-old from Northampton was airlifted to hospital but died from his injuries.

In a statement issued though Leicestershire Police , they said: “You will be sorely missed.

“Nature is full of patterns which repeat through scales – from the very big to the very small, from atoms, through planets, up to galaxies and beyond we see the largest influence in the centre, holding the structure together.

“Families are no different.

“You held us all together, despite all and everything our tempestuous natures threw your way – throughout all the wind, rain and sunshine you remained a solid and steadfast rock of sensibility and integrity.

“Things will never be the same without you, for so many people, as your personality and warmth spread to all those around you – professionally and personally – the echoes of your character and actions will ring out for years to come in the hearts and minds of all those you touched throughout your time here.

“You will remain forever in our hearts.”

Police collision investigators are continuing their inquiry into the incident, which happened shortly before 9.45am.

Mr Thorogood was travelling towards Twyford and the campervan was travelling in the opposite direction at the time of the incident.

Detective Constable Seamus Burns said: “We are continuing to appeal to speak to anyone who has any information in relation to the incident.

“Did you witness the collision? Did you see either of the vehicles prior to the collision?

“If you have any dashcam footage from the area at the time, we also urge you to check this and make contact as you could help with the investigation.”
