A man who was involved in a crash near Wisbech nearly four weeks ago has died in hospital.

49 year old Mark Raftery, of Ecton Grove in Elm, was behind the wheel of a dark grey VW Golf R32 when it was involved in a crash with a silver VW Golf on December 8 at around 3:45pm.

Police were called to the B1101 March Road between Coldham and March finding three people, including Mark, seriously injured.

Mark was taken to Peterborough City Hospital but passed away on December 28.

In a tribute, his family said he was a “beloved dad, son, grandad and brother”.

Their statement continued: “Mark was the loudest in the room and always loved a laugh.

“He loved his cars and his family dearly and can now be with his dad and brother.

“Mark will be sadly missed and will always be in our hearts.”

A passenger in the Golf R32, a 30-year-old man, was also left with serious injuries.

The driver of the silver Golf, a 50-year-old woman, was also taken to Peterborough City Hospital.
