The family of a loving father who was killed during a collision in Salford over the weekend have paid a touching tribute to him.
Pavè Corkovic sadly passed away as a result of his injuries this past Saturday (22 June 2024).
The 60-year-old father of three was involved in a collision on Albion Way, in the Greater Manchester city of Salford, when he lost his life, and following the tragic incident, a 38-year-old man has now been arrested.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) confirmed the man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving in connection with the incident.
He has since been released on bail.

Paying tribute to Pavè and his legacy following his tragic death, his family said: “There are no words to express how we feel. We as a family are in disbelief and none of us will ever forget him.
“Drago, the twins’ big brother, will make sure they know everything about their dad, especially how he turned his life around and did right by them. He loved being a family man and was their protector, provider and a constant presence in their lives.

“Nt, Drago, the twins, your dog Rocky, the family and your many beloved friends are so proud of how far you’ve come. We will miss you Pavè, and your legacy will live on through your kids.
“As Pavè would say – ‘life is a question of mind over matter, I don’t mind and you don’t matter.'”
The family also appreciates and has thanked the Greater Manchester public for the “love, support, and condolences” they have received since their “Salford legend” passed away.

Yuletide wishes have come true as a donation of toys and goodies have been delivered via a Christmas train in Wigan, right in time for the big day.
The Amazon toy train, which is a new initiative running this festive season, is dropping off presents from now right up until Christmas day itself.
Already visiting Wigan earlier this month, the locomotive has its sites set on three more stops including London, Swansea and Scotland as it makes its journey across three nations.
In partnership with Multibank’s Brick-by-Brick project, the train hopes to provide and offer gifts to families in need across the UK with Wigan marking the closest stop off in Greater Manchester.

All the toys that are being transported across the country in this Amazon-fronted train are featured on the company’s ‘Top Ten Toys 2024’ list.
Hatchimals, Screamerz and Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza were some of the exciting gifts found on the Christmas train in Wigan at the start of this month.
This lighthearted and fun-filled Christmas-themed project is kitted out with toys from top brands like Play-Doh and the brickmasters themselves, LEGO Star Wars.
So far, Multibank has helped over 400,000 families and provided three million essential items across their operations in England, Scotland and Wales since launching in 2022.
This collaborative local project doesn’t just operate at Christmastime either: Brick-to-Brick Multibank run all year round collecting surplus business requirements like furniture, hot water bottles and hygiene products to be used by those less fortunate.

This roster of children’s favourite companions and interactive games is inspired by the consumers themselves. Every toy is related to or the exact match of what Amazon customers have been searching for the most. A real Christmas list come true.
The list of the top toys isn’t extortionate either, offering customers some affordable and still as fascinating options with prices starting from £9.99.
Even old-school classics like Play-Doh have a spot on this wish list. This poses the really big question: where’s the adult version?
