Family of man who died following Sandbach collision pay tribute

The family of a man who died following a collision in Sandbach have paid tribute to him.

At 10.05am on Thursday 13th November, police were called to reports of a collision on Crewe Road in Sandbach.

The collision involved two vehicles, a black Lamborghini and a Red Vauxhall Viva.

The driver of the Vauxhall, 86-year-old David Ward from Winterley, was sadly pronounced deceased by paramedics at the scene.

Following enquiries, it has now been established that David suffered a medical episode at the time of the collision and his death has been concluded as natural causes.

We would like to thank the members of public that had made contact with Cheshire Police in response to the initial media appeal.

David’s family said:

“David was a devoted husband to Christine, a proud father of four, and a loving grandfather to seven.

“Family was at the heart of everything he did, and he showed his love not through grand gestures, but through steady support, quiet wisdom, and the warm, reassuring kindness and humour he offered so naturally.

“He found joy in simple, peaceful moments – fishing by the water, tending to his garden, walking familiar paths and cycling with ease and freedom. These were the places where he felt most connected to the world, and where many of us picture him now.”
