POLICE have arrested a man over a horror crash which killed the son of Frank Sidebottom creator Chris Sievey.
Harry Sievey, 24, was fatally injured in a collision with another cyclist and a Vauxhall Corsa in Withington, Manchester, on Sunday night.
Tributes have flooded in for the popular musician, whose late father found fame in the 1980s with the distinctive comedy character and his large papier mache head.
In tribute to Harry, his family said: “There are no words for another tragic and sad loss to our family.
“Our little brother and loving son Harry was always happy-go-lucky.
"We are heart broken, taken from us before his time."
They added: “We ask for our privacy at this time why we come to terms with our loss.”
Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident after they arrested a 61-year-old man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The crash involving a blue Vauxhall Corsa, a blue Speedsta bike and a white Mango bike happened in Mauldeth Road near the junction of Wellington Road shortly before 10.15pm.
The other cyclist, in his 20s, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
