A heartbroken mum has paid tribute to her four-year-old son who died after a collision in Newark.
Police were called to Churchill Drive at 6pm on Sunday (30 August) following a collision between an off-road motorbike and a car.
Robert Henry Steele, who was a passenger on the motorbike, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following the incident, Robert Henry’s family is being supported by specialist officers.
His mum, Tilly Robinson, has released the following tribute to her son:
“My beautiful boy was tragically taken from us on Sunday.
“Robert Henry was my pride and joy and my heart will be forever broken.
“Myself, his little brother Ronny-Boy, and all our family will never forget Robert Henry and we will make sure his memory lives on in all that we do.
“He may have only had four precious years with us but he was such a big character, full of love, big smiles and cheeky charm.
“We would like to thank all the emergency services and members of public present at the scene who helped my boy, Robert Henry.”
A 24-year-old man, who was riding on the same bike as Robert Henry, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The man suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital.
The bike was travelling in convoy with a second bike, whose rider left the scene before officers’ arrival.
Investigations led to 32-year-old Brian Cameron, of Chatsworth Road, Newark, being charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and causing death by driving while uninsured and unlicensed.
He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (2 September) and will next appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 30 September 2026.
