Tributes have been paid to a "kind" and "loyal" motorcyclist who died in a three-vehicle crash last week.

Paul Clark, 64, died in the collision on the A46 in Old Sodbury, South Gloucestershire, on 7 May at about 13:00 BST.

Emergency services provided medical attention to Paul but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Paul, from Mangotsfield and known as "Clarky" to his friends and family, was also described as a "friend to many".

Avon and Somerset Police said his family are being offered specialist support from a family liaison officer.

The tribute to Paul from his friends and family read: "He had a passion for cars and motorbikes and was a member of many different clubs, including the Jaguar Club and Ford Consul Club. He was a truly social man.

"He loved riding his motorbike, touring around Europe and local places.

"He was a brilliant handyman and would do his best to help anyone who asked, from building structures to fixing anything.

"He also loved a challenge, such as running many marathons including the London Marathon, attempting the Three Peaks Challenge and many more.

"He will truly be missed by everyone who knew him."
