Tributes Paid To "Amazing And Caring" Motorcyclist Killed In Hassocks Collision

Tributes have been paid to a motorcyclist from Portslade who died in a collision in Hassocks last Tuesday (April 13).

As previously reported by More Radio, Nigel Peters, 62, was riding his blue Suzuki motorcycle when it was in a collision with a dark blue Vauxhall Zafira on A273 Brighton Road, at around 8.42am.

Nigel’s family have paid tribute to him, saying:

“Nigel was a loving husband to his wife, an amazing and caring father to his children, a wonderful son, grandfather and brother, and a much loved friend. He was well respected and thought of by all that knew him, worked with him and met him. A true family man, Nigel was an utter gentleman through and through, and would do anything for anyone. Nothing was too much –that was his nature.

“He was clever but modest, and known by his loved ones for his wit and brilliant sense of humour. His generosity, kindness and love for those he knew had no limits – he had the biggest of hearts.

“The loss of Nigel cannot be put into words but it has left an enormous void in everyone’s lives that he touched, especially his family.”

The sole occupant of the Vauxhall, a 31-year-old local man, was uninjured.

Officers are continuing to investigate the collision and anyone with information is asked to come forward, especially anyone who captured the movements of either vehicle on dash cam shortly beforehand.

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101, quoting Operation Convent.
