A 20-year-old Barton motorcyclist will be remembered as "a popular kid with a heart of gold and missed by many.

A balloon release and ride-out was held after the tragic death of Liam Wong on March 7, 2023. An inquest at Grimsby Town Hall this week heard how he died in a single motorcycle collision at Horkstow, in North Lincolnshire after spending time with his father, Richard and his grandparents.

Humberside Police closed roads following the tragic incident around 4.30pm, including the A1077 South Ferriby with the B1204, Horkstow Road with the B1204, and Saxby Hill with the B1204.

Those who knew him described him as being "helpful" and "kindhearted" with his death leaving them lost for words. Some people spoke about his love for the skate park when he was younger and how well-mannered he was.

A GoFundMe was set up in his memory with friend Lauren Finney describing Liam as a "popular kid, with a heart of gold and will be missed by so many." A friend said after the tragedy: "Liam was a kind person who could never hurt a soul.
