Police still investigating crash after tragic death of 'amazing husband'
POLICE are still investigating a crash following the death of an "amazing husband" and father more than four months ago.
Rugby coach Mark Fleming died aged 51 last autumn after a collision involving his black motorcycle and a silver Kia Rio in Drighlington.
It happened on Whitehall Road, near its junction with New Lane just after 9am on September 28, 2024.
Mark, a father of three to Connor, Scarlett, and Ruby and husband to Jenny, sadly died at the scene.
There was an outpouring of love for the 51-year-old - who was heavily involved with Drighlington ARLFC, coaching some of the young girls' teams at the rugby club - on social media in the aftermath of the crash.
A heartfelt tribute left at the scene by his wife, Jenny, said: 'To my only love, my beautiful amazing husband.
'Words will never be enough for how much you mean to me.
'I will always love you and make you proud raising our 3 beautiful children.
'Till we meet again, remember I love you always and will carry you with me .'
The driver of the Kia was treated for minor injuries and later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving before he was bailed pending further enquiries.
Police revealed today that officers are still investigating the crash and the arrested man remains on bail.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "The arrested man remains on bail, enquiries ongoing."
