The family of a motorcyclist who died after a crash involving two cars have said he was a "devoted father" who had "cheeky charm and enthusiasm for life".Steven Morris, 38, was taken to hospital with serious injuries after the crash in Alfreton Road, Underwood, Nottinghamshire, on Sunday and died a short time later, despite the efforts of emergency Morris's family described him as "a family man" who "touched so many lives".Nottinghamshire Police said officers were called just before 20:00 BST and issued an appeal for anyone who saw any of the vehicles involved - a Harley Davidson motorcycle, a Volvo V90 and a Bentley Brooklands - before the crash. In a statement, Mr Morris's family said: "We are so desperately heartbroken and devastated at the loss of our beloved Steven, known to those closest as Mo, who has been taken much too soon at the tender age of 38."We were incredibly fortunate to have called him our Steven and he will be loved always."We would like to thank all the emergency services and members of public present at the scene who helped Steven, it means a lot to know you were there."Det Con Andrew Fawcett, of the force's serious collision investigation unit, confirmed Mr Morris's family were being supported by specially trained officers as an investigation into the crash continued."We know this has been a huge shock and very difficult time for Mr Morris's family as they try to come to terms with their loss," he added.

Get off that Porsche 911 configurator! New V8 Mercedes Concept AMG GT Track Sport is coming
The Mercedes-AMG division might be looking more heavily into electric power than ever (as evidenced by the 1,341bhp AMG GT XX concept), but the new Concept AMG GT Track Sport shows just how important internal-combustion engines remain to the brand. Teased officially for the first time, the Concept AMG GT Track Sport is based on the second-generation AMG GT sports car, which arrived in 2023. Although only a concept, we suspect it'll pave the way for a new halo car within the AMG GT line-up. In fact, Mercedes has suggested as much by saying the concept 'provides a preview of a possible expansion of the GT series with a V8 engine'. So far with the current AMG GT we've seen a 2.0-litre four-cylinder 43 model with 416bhp, and several V8-powered versions in the form of the GT 55, GT 63 and the 803bhp plug-in hybrid GT 63 E Performance. The Concept AMG GT Track Sport will likely spawn a replacement for the AMG GT Black Series or GT R Pro, as the most hardcore iteration of Mercedes' Porsche 911 GT3 RS rival.

Find your new car now… Despite the cloaking of this model, it's possible to ascertain a few key visual elements. We can clearly see this version is wider and lower, with a big splitter at the front and a huge swan-neck rear wing that wouldn't look out of place on a grid of GT3 race cars. Using what we suspect to be a more potent iteration of the 603bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 in the GT 63 Pro, Mercedes-AMG says the Concept AMG GT Track Sport will set 'new standards and record times', with the latter potentially a Nürburgring lap time attempt. The brand has form here, with the old AMG GT Black Series still third in the all-time standings. If you're a fan of Mercedes-AMG, then why not head over to the Auto Express marketplace where you'll find great deals on used AMGs, from the A 35 hot hatch up to the AMG GT? It's not yet been revealed when and where the Concept AMG GT Track Sport will be officially unveiled, although the Munich Motor Show in September would seem likely.
