Officers are still appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage
The family of a Peterborough man who died after being hit by a car say he had a 'heart of gold'.
Sam Pope, 28, was struck by a Vauxhall Astra at about 11pm on Saturday, 11 May, in Oil Mills Road, between Pondersbridge and Ramsey Mereside.
Mr Pope, of Lincoln Road, Peterborough, died at the scene.
In a statement his family said: “Sam was a free spirit, who liked to live his life at 100 mph and believed that rules were meant to be broken.
“We shall miss his smile and crazy sense of humour that would always make you laugh, despite what mood you were in that day.
“Sam was a rough diamond with a heart made of gold and will leave a big hole in our lives.”
Officers are still appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage.
