Aaron Smith: Hoyland motorcyclist dies after crash with car

A motorcyclist injured in a collision with a car has died in hospital, South Yorkshire Police said.

Aaron Smith, 25, from Hoyland, was riding along Park Road in Worsbrough when he was involved in a crash with a Toyota Yaris at about 07:35 GMT on Wednesday. He died the following day.

In a statement his family said he was a "caring and thoughtful" son who had lived a "wonderful life".

Witnesses or anyone with footage of the crash are asked to contact police.

Paying tribute, Mr Smith's family said: "AJ is our beautiful son now and forever. He made us the proudest parents in the world.

"AJ was caring and thoughtful about his family, friends and even people he had never met, and would help in any way he could without thinking about it.

"He has had a wonderful life. Even though it has only been 25 short years, he has made every minute count.

"He is truly going to be missed so, so much by everyone, but by fulfilling AJ's last wish of being an organ donor there is part of AJ walking around and helping people."

His family also thanked the passers-by who had stopped at the scene to help.
