Tribute to father following fatal crash at Kirkstone Pass
Police in Cumbria confirmed the collision involved a pedal cycle ridden and a red-coloured Ford Mustang
The family of a 64-year-old man who died following a road traffic collision on Kirkstone Pass on Monday evening (22 September) have released a tribute.
Neal Doggett, 64, who grew up in Windermere and lived in Edinburgh, was riding his bicycle at the time of the collision.
His family said: “Neal was a much-loved father to two beautiful daughters, a husband and a brother.
“Neal frequently came back to Windermere to visit family and riding up Kirkstone Pass was one of his joys. Although the circumstances of his death are tragic, his family know that he died in a place that was special to him.
“Neal's family would like to thank everyone who helped Neal at the time of his accident and to Cumbria Police for the ongoing support that they are receiving."
Police in Cumbria confirmed the collision involved a pedal cycle ridden by Neal and a red-coloured Ford Mustang being driven by a male in his sixties, who is assisting police with their enquiries.
A file is being prepared for His Majesty’s Coroner and specialist officers are supporting Neal’s family.
Police continue to appeal for witnesses.
