Van driver killed in A15 crash had a 'big heart'

A man who died when his van crashed with an HGV and a car transporter on the A15 in North Lincolnshire has been named by his family.

Dean Corbett, 34, from Southport, Merseyside, died at the scene of the crash, which happened at about 11:00 GMT on Wednesday between the Broughton interchange and the Hibaldstow turn-off, Humberside Police said.

In a tribute shared by the force, his family said he was a "beloved son, brother, uncle and boyfriend", adding that he "always had a smile on his face".

They said he told "the funniest jokes to make people laugh, and would always have time for anyone no matter where he was in life".

"Dean was kind caring and funny with a big heart. His passing has left a massive void in all of us. He will be extremely missed," they added.

Witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage of the crash are asked to contact police.
