The man who was killed in a three-vehicle-collision at the turning into Elk Mill Retail Park in Royton has been named as Michael Margetson from Oldham.
His wife Diane has released a tribute to ‘her rock’:
“In loving memory of Michael Margetson. You weren’t just a part of our family you were the cornerstone. As a husband you were my rock, as a son, a source of pride the greatest storyteller and hug giver. Thank you for stepping up, filling our lives with joy, and loving us all so deeply. You are now back in your mother’s arms. You were not only my husband you were my best friend, my rock. Fly high my beautiful, I love you for ever, your loving wife, Diane.
“We kindly ask that everyone respect our family’s privacy at this difficult time and allow us the space to come together and support one another.”
His family are being supported by specialist officers at this time.
A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has since been bailed pending further investigation.
As officers continue with their investigation, they are still asking for anyone with information regarding the collision to please come forward.
This includes anyone who may have dashcam or CCTV footage from the area at the time
