The motorcyclist killed after colliding with a car driven by a Bermudian in the UK has been named as William Ruewell.

Mr Ruewell, 20, died when his Honda VFR 800F crashed into a Volvo V40 hatchback on Sunday around 4:30pm.

The driver of the car, a 69-year-old Bermudian man, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. His passenger, a 64-year-old Bermudian woman, suffered whiplash and a broken collar bone in the accident near the village of Bury in West Sussex.

The driver, who lives in Southampton Parish and was holidaying in the UK, has been released on unconditional bail until September 1. Yesterday Mr Ruewell’s parents, Phillip and Barbara, paid tribute to their son.

“William was our dearly loved, only son and a loving brother to Lydia and Ellie,” they said in a statement released by Sussex Police.
