Taxi driver killed on A61 at Dunkeswick
The family of a man killed in a crash near Harrogate in the early hours of Sunday morning has paid tribute to him.
Masum Miah, 45, died at the scene of the collision, which occurred at 1.20am on the A61 Harrogate Road at Dunkeswick, near Harewood Bridge.
It involved a grey BMW 3 Series and a black Peugeot Partner taxi driven by Mr Miah, from Shipley.
His wife Ambia said:
"With a heavy, broken heart I will have to say Allah Hafiz (goodbye) to you. I can't ever accept the hard reality of losing you in this tragic, sudden crash.
"I can't promise you I'll be okay, but I promise I will bring our kids up the way we planned together. You'll always be missed because of the way you were humble, funny, loving, caring, and most of all a wonderful husband and father.
"'For sure it is god who created us and to him we shall return. You have gone, but will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace and our next meeting will be in Jannah. In Sha Allah."
