The ‘devastated’ family of a man with a ‘great sense of humour’ who died after a crash on the M56 have paid tribute to him.
Matthew Clarke, 48, from Nantwich, was described as ‘much loved husband and devoted father’ who helped young children get into fishing. Police were called to the M56 westbound carriageway near junction 14 at around 10.35am on Friday (January 20) following reports of a one-vehicle crash involving a grey BMW which had come off the motorway.
An air ambulance was scrambled and the carriageway was closed for several hours. Sadly, Mr Clarke died at the scene.
