Tributes paid to East Lothian motorcyclist Glenn Campbell, 21, who died in horror crash
Tributes have poured in for a 21-year-old motorcyclist who died after a horror crash in East Lothian.
Glenn Campbell, a trainee firefighter from North Berwick, lost his life in a smash with a red Scania tanker on the B1345 last Wednesday.
Emergency services raced to the scene north of Drem at around 7.30am but he was sadly declared dead at the scene.
Pals took to their own motorcycles to pay tribute to the keen biker last weekend and another ride in his honour is organised for this Sunday. Glenn’s girlfriend, Paige Whyte, paid a heartfelt tribute to him online.
She wrote: “I’m hurting knowing you’re gone but what hurts the most is that you’ve left so many people who cared for you and loved you. Glenn you were amazing and there’s no change in that (sic).
“The world fell silent with you around even though you made the world so noisy. People care for you more than you knew. We all loved you.”
School pal Chris MacGregor added: “Glenn and I met in primary school we where best friends throughout primary and high school. We drifted apart sometime after high school but would always make time to catch up and have a deep conversation about anything and everything.
“Glenn helped me through some of the worst times in my life and I will never forget that. May you rest in peace brother.”
Lisa Kelly said: “Knew Glenn for years we met when we where at school we have been friends ever since he always helped me when I was having a rough time and every time he seen me out in my car he made sure to stop and chat to me or wave every time he will be greatly missed he was an amazing guy RIP.”
Police have issued an appeal for witnesses of the crash to come forward.
Sergeant Barry Sommerville said: “Our enquiries are continuing into the circumstances of this collision in which a man sadly died, and our thoughts are with his family at this time.
“I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or who may have dash-cam footage, and has not yet spoken to or provided this information to officers, to contact us as soon as possible."
Anyone with information should call Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 0665 of 17 July, 2024.
