Mum and Dad Killed in Horror Bike Smash Were on Anniversary Tour
Their sons said the couple died after a three-vehicle crash on the final leg of a 41st wedding anniversary tour.
On Monday, July 20, Mike Savings, 66, and Shirley Savings, 64, died following a three-vehicle collision on the A1 southbound at Tuxford, Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, involving their Harley Davidson Trike, a Vauxhall Grandland, and a Scania flatbed lorry.
The couple had been touring Scotland to celebrate their 41st wedding anniversary, visiting the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge to honor Mike's father, who fought at D-Day, when they were on the final leg of their trip.
Their two sons stated, "It is with absolute heartbreak that we must announce that Mike and Shirley Savings were both killed." Married over 40 years, the couple met at a nightclub and were described as "cherished."
Nottinghamshire Police continue investigating the incident after emergency services responded shortly after 3:30pm on Monday. Witnesses who have yet to speak to police are asked to call 101 quoting reference 26*429653.
The couple from Lichfield leaves behind two children, with their unique energies and perspectives "cherished and missed greatly by all who knew them." Their death ended the final leg of their anniversary tour, leaving a lasting void.
