Tributes have been paid to a motorcyclist who was killed in a crash with a car.

Joshua Bendall, 40, from Soham in Cambridgeshire was riding his Kawasaki near the junction of Northfields Road on 6 April at around 9pm, when he was in a collision with a Volvo XC90.

A 56-year-old woman, also from Soham, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

She has since been released on bail until 10 May.

Mr Bendall's family said: "Josh was a much-loved father to three wonderful children.

"All of his family and friends are heartbroken by his death, and his loss leaves a large hole in all our hearts.

"We believe that he is now in God’s love and keeping."
