Families pay tribute to motorcyclists killed in collision

Two families have paid tribute to two men who died following a collision in South Staffordshire.

We were called at 6.41pm on Saturday (20 May) to Blackhalve Lane in Essington following reports that a number of motorcycles had collided.

Officers went to the scene with colleagues from West Midlands Ambulance Service.

Adam Humpage, aged 25, from Coven, and Nathan Duval, aged 35, from Willenhall, were pronounced dead by paramedics a short time later.

Paying tribute to Adam, his family said: “He was such a loving and wonderful son, brother and daddy. 

“Our lives will never be the same.”

Nathan’s family said: “Nathan is the pride and joy of his family, with his infectious character.

“A daddy to two precious boys, he is our absolute world - an incredibly loved partner, daddy, son, brother and grandson.

“None of our lives will ever be the same, we love and miss you.”

The family added: “We would appreciate privacy to allow us to remember him and come to terms with such a huge loss.” 

A file is currently being prepared for HM Coroner over the deaths.

Officers are continuing to appeal for information and dashcam footage of the area at the time of the collision.
