Tributes have been paid to a father who died following a motorbike crash in Gorton last night (Wednesday). Clive Pinnock, 38, suffered serious injuries when his green Kawasaki collided with a black BMW near to the Tesco on Hyde Road.
An air ambulance landed in a nearby car park and Clive was rushed to hospital, but sadly could not be saved. Police have launched an investigation and a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.
Officers have urged anyone who may have witnessed the incident to get in touch. Clive, originally from Longsight, was a well-known and popular figure in Manchester, and dozens of tributes have been posted on social media.
