The family of a 50-year-old man who was struck by a car during an altercation on a busy junction have paid tribute to a ‘kind, loving family man’.

Paul Bowles died following a road rage incident near to the Chadderton roundabout, close to the Elk Mill roundabout on Wednesday night.

His family have described him as a kind, loving, family man and true gentleman who always put others before himself.

He was intelligent and quick-witted, had a brilliant mind and generous heart. They said Paul will be missed greatly by all his family and friends.

Police are continuing to support the family, who have asked for privacy at this difficult time.
