A man killed in a crash in Doncaster had the "biggest heart and an even bigger smile", his grieving family said.

Chris Greenaway, 55, died on 21 June after being hit by a white Vauxhall Astra GTC in Bawtry Road, Cantley, just before 11:30 BST.

A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop and causing death by dangerous driving. He remains on police bail.

Mr Greenaway's family have paid tribute to him, saying their lives had "changed forever" on the day of the collision.

In a statement issued by South Yorkshire Police, they said: "The messages received in tribute to Chris echo what we, as his family, knew him to be: a man with the biggest heart, an even bigger smile and the ability to find joy in the smallest of things.

"Chris will always be remembered for his laughter, his love of animals, his passion for Liverpool FC and the unwavering love and kindness he gave to all who knew him."

Police said officers were supporting the family, and appealed for witnesses to come forward.

The family added: "If anybody has any information to share with the police, no matter how small, we would urge you to contact them.

"In time, we may have the answers we need in relation to Chris's death."
