Tributes paid to 'great son' killed in road crash

Tributes have been paid to "a great son with a pure heart" who died in a two-vehicle crash.

Shah Muhammad, 37, was driving a silver Seat that was in collision with an HGV on the A17 between the villages of Leadenham and Brant Broughton, near Newark, at about 14:00 GMT on 1 November.

The HGV driver suffered minor injuries, said Lincolnshire Police.

In a statement, Mr Muhammad's family said: "Shah Muhammad was a son of a soldier. He was a great son to his mother. Men are what their mothers made them. His work ethic, his smile, his laugh was unmatched in this world."

They added: "He was courageous and forgiving. His heart was pure with pure intentions. Words can’t describe such a man.”

Police said the investigation into the cause of the crash was ongoing.
