A 49-YEAR-OLD woman has been arrested following a road crash which killed a motorcyclist.

A silver Vauxhall Astra had collided with a Yamaha motorbike.

Paul Anthony Rowe, aged 44, of Overcliff Road, Lewisham, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Speaking at Mr Rowe's home yesterday, his cousin Terry Rowe, 45, said: "He was a father of four lovely kids and he was an absolutely fantastic dad.

"He was a very humble person and everyone really liked him - a very peaceful man.

"He ran his own girls football team and was a big West Ham United fan. We are a huge family and we all miss him very much."

Police have arrested a woman on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

She has been bailed to return in the new year.
