TRIBUTES have been paid to a Swindon man killed in a Yorkshire motorcycle crash.

Arron Selter was described as a true hero by family members.

The 35-year-old, originally from Park North, died after his black Kawasaki motorcycle was involved in a crash with a Ford Fiesta ST on the A1M near Doncaster.

Arron, once a team manager at the My Local shop in Wroughton, suffered life-threatening injuries in the crash on Wednesday, November 7. He later died in hospital.

In a statement, his family said: “This is the face of a true hero. Never fired a gun or raised a fist in anger. Always wanted to help people. Always had an open ear for anybody with problems. Never thought of himself, but had time for others. Their joy was his joy, their pain was his pain.

“He loved people and had great hopes for humanity, always striving for peace love and happiness.”

In 2014, Arron made a marathon treadmill effort, walking for 24 hours to raise money for those hit by floods in Somerset. A year later, he rowed 100km in the gym, with the proceeds going to the Juvenile Diabetics Research Fund.

His family said: “He had his head shaved. Had his chest, back and legs waxed. He had also signed up to have a go in an amateur boxing match, but never got to go.

“All these things he did for whichever charity he felt like at the time, not for fame but for his own enjoyment and sense of self pride.

"His final heroic deed was donating his organs and tissues for transplant.

"Our son, our hero, Arron Selter. May his sacrifice bring life and joy to other poor souls.”

South Yorkshire Police has appealed for witnesses to the November 7 crash to come forward. Call police on 101.
