He sadly died at the scene.

Tributes have been left at the scene of a crash in New Whittington on Saturday.

His parents Denise Wellings and Steven Turton said: "Wayne has left a big hole in our hearts which will never heal. Love you always. Until we meet again sleep tight son."

His brother Lee Turton and sister Tracy Coyle said: "Our brother was one in a million. He was our little egg head. Life will never be the same. We love you so much. Sleep tight. Look over us until we meet again."

Eckington Road from Handley Road to Springwell Hill was closed for several hours while investigations were carried out.

A Derbyshire police spokesperson said: "Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

"We are keen to speak to anyone who saw the two vehicles, a grey Yamaha YZF-R6 motorbike and a black BMW 320, prior to the collision, especially anyone with dash cam footage.

"If you believe you have video that may help the investigation then it should be downloaded to an external device and secured for officers to view."

One tribute reads: "Can't believe you're gone. Only seen you last week. R.I.P mate. You will be sadly missed."

Another adds: "Fly high brother. Always missed never forgotten."
