The partner of a man who died following a collision on Kingsway in Manchester has paid tribute to him.
Sylvester Abayomi, 50, sustained serious injuries in the collision between two vehicles at the junction of Green End Road and Kingsway. He sadly later died in hospital.
His family are being supported by specialist officers at this time.
Paying tribute, his partner, Denise, said: “On Monday 9th March, the love of my life was taken away, he was the most caring soul and gentle person you could ever meet. He had time for everybody and is loved by everyone. Syll will be sadly missed.”
Two men – aged 20 and 24 – have since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. They remain in custody for questioning.
DC Thomas Johnson, from GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Firstly, I want to say that our thoughts remain with the families and friends of Sylvester – we are continuing to support them wherever we can.
“While we have secured two arrests, this is still an active investigation, and we are looking for anyone who has any information regarding the case to come forward to get in touch with us.
“You can do this directly or anonymously – any information no matter how big or small could greatly assist our work.”
As officers continue with their investigation, they are still asking for anyone with information regarding the collision to please come forward.
