A man from Leeds who tragically died in a crash in Harewood has been described as a "kind and compassionate" man by his family in a heartbreaking tribute.
Adrian Hornby, 57, was left with serious head injuries following an accident on the A659 Harewood Avenue on Wednesday, May 27.
He was riding his bike towards Wetherby shortly after 8am when he was struck by a Volkswagen Golf.
He was taken to hospital by paramedics and although he fought for more than 10 days, he sadly passed away on Sunday, June 7.
Adrian's wife and his twin sons have released an emotional letter in honour of Adrian and said "we cannot imagine life without him".
'He has been stolen from us far too early and we are heartbroken'
The statement says; "Adrian had a formidable mind, and was kind and compassionate. He worked for an American software company across the world and was a keen Bridge player, underwater hockey enthusiast and was chairman of the Harrogate Model Flying Club.
"He was loved and cherished by his wife and twin sons, and was in his element when with his family. He has been stolen from us far too early and we are heartbroken and cannot imagine life without him; the gap will be unfathomable.”
Detective sergeant Fiona Allan of West Yorkshire Police, said: "The death of Adrian has clearly had a profound impact on his family and we are urging anyone who witnessed the collision who hasn’t come forward yet to do so."
