The family of a West Farleigh man who died in a motorbike crash have paid tribute to a loving husband and father-of-two.

Ian Hodgson died on Sunday on the A228 Branbridges Road between East Peckham and Paddock Wood. No other vehicles were involved.

The 46-year-old leaves behind his wife Tracey and two sons, Chris and Stephen.

In a joint statement, they said: "Ian was a loving husband and devoted father. He was a much-loved friend to many."

Officers are continuing to appeal for witnesses to the collision, which took place at 7.15pm near the Hop Farm.

Mr Hodgson was travelling on a red Ducati and died at the scene.

Earlier, PC Jamie Woodhams from the serious collision investigation unit said: "This is a fairly busy stretch of road and I would appeal to anyone who saw the collision, or the vehicle in the moments leading up to the collision to contact us with any information they think could be relevant."
