Our hearts are broken - we're completely devastated...

THE families of two men who died after a crash have paid tribute to their precious' and 'beloved sons.

Harry Atkinson and Lewis Meeson have been named as the two men who died after a collision on High Barn Street, Royton, Oldham, on Friday.

The pair, from Royton, were riding on a yellow Suzuki off-road motorbike shortly before 11am when they collided with a grey Ford Kuga near the junction of Cardigan Street.

They both died from critical injuries and their deaths are subject to an ongoing investigation by Greater Manchester Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit.

Specialist officers are working to support Harry and Lewis' families, who yesterday paid tribute to the men and thanked the community for their supportive messages and kindness over this devastating weekend.
