Tributes are being paid to man with a "heart of gold" killed in a crash at Pondersbridge.
At about 11pm on Saturday 11 May 2024, Sam Pope was struck by a car on Oil Mills Road, between Pondersbridge and Ramsey Mereside.
The 28-year-old from Lincoln Road in Peterborough died at the scene.
A man in his 30s from Chatteris has been charged with causing death by careless driving whilst unfit through alcohol, failing to stop at the scene of a collision, driving with no licence and driving with no insurance.
Sam's family have paid tribute to him:
"Sam was a free spirit, who liked to live his life at 100 mph and believed that rules were meant to be broken.
"We shall miss his smile and crazy sense of humour that would always make you laugh, despite what mood you were in that day.
"Sam was a rough diamond with a heart made of gold and will leave a big hole in our lives."
Cambridgeshire Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage.
