Family of level crossing crash driver pay tribute

The family of 47-year-old Paul Hodge who died in the level crossing crash at Great Coates have released a statement paying tribute to him.

Paul was a loving father, grandfather, son and brother and will be dearly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

He was born in Grimsby and returned here after leaving the Forces. He was an avid football fan and followed Manchester United. He also served with the First Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Paul worked as a transport driver at South Killingholme.

Paul will be very sadly missed by all those who knew him and this has come with tragic and devastating shock to all of his family and friends.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for all the messages of sympathy and support we have received over the past 24 hours.
