A motorcyclist who was killed in a crash with a pick-up truck will be "greatly missed", his family have said.

Kyle Barlow was seriously injured in the collision on Lancaster Road, Cockerham, at 18:20 BST on Friday.

He was taken to hospital where he died the following day.

Mr Barlow's family have paid tribute to the 24-year-old, from Blackpool, who "loved being involved with both BMX and motocross and has been passionate about bikes".

"He will be greatly missed by his parents Anne-Marie and Lee, his brothers Jordan, Reece, JayJay and Logan, his girlfriend Rebecca, niece Sofia and especially his daughter Patience, and all other family members and friends," his family added.
