Student ‘loved by all’ dies on motorbike in crash with car as driver arrested

A student and budding footballer 'loved by all' has died after a motorbike crash with the driver of a car arrested. Cameron Arneaud, 20, died at the scene of the collision in Finedon, Northamptonshire at about 9.15pm on Friday. The young man was travelling home from work when he crashed with a Toyota Prius car.

Cameron had recently moved to Northamptonshire from neighbouring Bedfordshire. The 27-year-old driver of the Prius has been arrested and bailed pending further enquiries. Cameron's parents Alison and Dan have now issued a heartfelt tribute to their son.

They said: "Cameron was a polite, well-mannered, young man. He was loving, caring, thoughtful and affectionate and loved by all who knew him. He was a good student in school and received As and Bs in his GCSEs, before he enrolled at the WIXAMS Football Academy for two years followed by a year at Bedfordshire University.

"Cameron always kept out of trouble and had recently got himself a good job with the National Accident Helpline. He loved football - Arsenal was his team - he also enjoyed gaming and spending time with his friends. He especially loved his family - they were the most important thing to him.

He just loved life." Police are appealing for witnesses who were in the area and who may have seen either the horror smash or the lead-up to it. They added a Stagecoach bus arrived shortly afterwards, and there may have been witnesses on board.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit or phone Northants Police on 101 quoting reference 23000785545 or incident 530 of 22/12/2023.
