The family of the man who died after a collision in Kidsgrove have paid tribute to him.

Emergency Services were called to Kidsgrove Bank just after 4pm on Monday 24 March after a car crashed into a lamppost. 

Great-grandfather Malcolm Howell, aged 75, from Kidsgrove, was driving the car and died at the scene.

In a tribute to him, Malcolm's family said: "Malcolm was a dedicated oil blender at Fuchs until his retirement, where he was known for his hard work and commitment.

"A loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Malcolm's warmth, kindness and wisdom will be deeply missed by his family. His memory will be cherished by all who knew and loved him.

"May he rest in peace, forever in our hearts".

The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this time and they are being supported by specially-trained officers from Staffordshire Police. 

Staffordshire Police is still looking to speak with anyone with any CCTV or dashcam footage from the area or those with any information which could help collision investigators.

Call Staffordshire Police on 101, quoting incident 547 of 24 March, or message using the LiveChat on the website. You can also get in touch with collision investigators directly by emailing [email protected].
