A MOVING message written on behalf of Joe Howe’s little boy has been left at the scene of the crash which killed him.

The message, which appears alongside a picture of the two of them together, is one of the latest tributes to be placed in Lindsay Road in Poole.

It reads: “To my daddy. I will always remember you forever in my heart.

“Love you more than I can tell you, lots of love your little NONO’s xxxxxx.”

The picture shows Joe holding the little boy when he was a baby. He is now believed to be three-years-old.

Joe, 23, died in a collision between a motorbike and a car in Lindsay Road, Poole on Sunday.

He was one of two people travelling on a green Kawasaki motorbike which collided with a blue Renault Clio at 5.35pm.

His friend, Tom Wilson, 21, suffered life-threatening injuries and remains in a critical condition after being airlifted to Southampton General Hospital.

The 31-year-old driver of the Clio was unhurt.

Scores of bouquets have been left at the scene of the crash, many bearing messages for Joe, whose nickname was Plum.

One says: “Rest in peace Plum. We are going to miss you.

“You were the best mate we could ever have. All our love, The Parkstone Boys.”

Joe’s death was one of five in just 16 days in Dorset.

Since then police have issued road safety advice.

They stressed it is particularly important at this time of the year with the clocks due to go back this weekend and darker evenings looming.

Inspector Matt Butler of the Dorset Police Road Traffic Unit said: “I would ask all motorists to drive with courtesy and patience.

“Don’t take unnecessary risks or think it will never happen to you - it happens to people in all areas of the community.

“The simple fact is that most collisions could be avoided.”

He said officers are working round-the-clock to tackle what is known as the fatal five.

These are drink and drug driving, excessive and inappropriate speed, not wearing a seatbelt, driver distractions such as using a hand-held mobile phone and dangerous/careless driving.

Cllr Peter Finney, deputy leader of Dorset County Council, added: “Highways are not inherently dangerous.

“People have to realise that most tragic incidents can be avoided.”
