Family pay tribute to ‘loving father’ killed in a collision in Radcliffe

The family of Anthony Haughton (55) have paid tribute to him after he was tragically killed on Thursday 2 November 2023, in a collision on Water Street in Radcliffe.

His family said: “Anthony was a loving father, son, brother, grandfather and partner. He was taken from us too soon and we are still coming to terms with this devastating news.

“He overcame many obstacles in his life and had so much to look forward to watching his children grow up. His loss has left a hole in our lives and we will miss him forever.”

A 33-year-old man has been arrested in relation to Anthony’s death on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, causing death whilst uninsured and having failed a roadside drug test. He has since been released under investigation.
