The 58 year old motorcyclist who was killed on the M60 has been named as Andrew Peak
He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries following the accident on Saturday but died in hospital on Monday 14 July.
In a tribute to Andrew, his family said: “Andrew sustained major injuries following an accident whilst riding his motorcycle on the M60 on Saturday 12th July.
“Without the attendance of the emergency services and rapid response from the North West Air Ambulance, it would not have been possible to transport him to hospital for further medical care.
“The medical team at Salford Royal Critical Care Unit worked tirelessly to save his life over the following 48 hours. Unfortunately, Andrew’s injuries were so severe that he sadly passed away on 14th July, surrounded by his family and friends.
“Andrew will be missed dearly by his family and friends, a tragic loss of man taken too soon.
“We would like to thank everyone who was involved with the care of Andrew from the roadside to the hospital. As a family we have decided to fundraise for the North West Air Ambulance, which operates solely on the generosity of public donations, and have set up a Just Giving page for anyone who can donate.”
