A YOUNG father, from Barnton, has died in a motorcycle accident.

Paul Egerton, 21, who leaves a two-year-old son, was travelling through Crewe last Saturday afternoon, when the crash happened.

His blue Suzuki bike struck a Vauxhall Cavalier travelling in the opposite direction, left the road and hit a tree. He was taken to Leighton Hospital but died an hour later.

Shocked family and friends have paid tribute to Paul.
