Family tribute to great-grandfather after crash

A great-grandfather who died in a crash has been described as warm and wise by his family.

Malcolm Howell, 75, of Kidsgrove, Staffordshire, died on 24 March.

Officers said they were called at 16:10 GMT after reports of a single-vehicle collision on Kidsgrove Bank. Mr Howell died at the scene.

"Malcolm's warmth, kindness and wisdom will be deeply missed by his family," his relatives said in a tribute released by Staffordshire Police.

His family said he was "a loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather" and his "memory will be cherished by all who knew and loved him".

Mr Howell worked as an oil blender at Fuchs Lubricants UK, a company that makes lubricants and is based in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, until his retirement.

"He was known for his hard work and commitment," his family's tribute added.

Staffordshire Police has appealed for anyone with any CCTV footage, dashcam footage, or other information about the collision to contact officers.
