The wife and friends of David Chivers, who died in a car park collision in Worksop last week, have paid tribute to him, saying he will be “deeply missed” by all who knew him.
David Chivers, aged 72, of Worksop[2], died after he was struck by a car at the entrance to the Priorswell Road car park around 11.50am on Thursday, September 12.
He was a member of Bassetlaw Multicultural Association and a key contributor to the annual festival.
The festival was swiftly cancelled by organisers the following day, on Friday, September 13, due to the shock felt by those closest to him.
David Chivers, aged 72, of Worksop, died after he was struck by a car at the entrance to the Priorswell Road car park on Thursday, September 12.
In a statement shared with your Guardian[3] by David’s wife Elaine and fellow festival trustees, they expressed their “deep sadness” at David’s passing in the days leading up to the festival.
The festival had been originally scheduled for Saturday, September 14.
The statement reads: “It is with deep sadness that we, the trustees of the Bassetlaw Multicultural Association[4], confirm that the cancellation of the Bassetlaw Multicultural Festival was a result of a difficult decision made following a tragic accident that occurred in the Priorswell Car Park, adjacent to the festival site, just two days before the event was due to take place.

“We are aware that there has been speculation about whether the accident and the festival were connected.
“With heavy hearts, we confirm that they were.
“David was a much-loved and valued member of our festival team, and the beloved husband of our chair of trustees, Elaine.
“As a committee, we made the swift decision to cancel the festival out of deep respect for David and Elaine, and because of the proximity of the accident to the festival location.
“As key members of the committee, we just could not have facilitated the day without them. This tragedy has deeply affected us all.
“We would like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the stallholders, bands, hire companies, partners, and the general public for their understanding and compassion during this incredibly difficult time.
“David was a kind, caring, and dedicated individual who would do anything to support the festival, and other people.
“His absence will be felt by all of us, and none of us will ever forget his contributions, his spirit, or his dedicated support.
“He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
“Thank you for your continued support.”
Inquiries are ongoing to understand the full circumstances of the incident.
The driver of the car remained at the scene and is assisting police with their inquiries.
Detective Constable Emma Temple, of Nottinghamshire Police’s serious collision investigation unit, said: “This was a tragic and distressing incident, and our thoughts are with the victim’s family, friends, and the wider community at this time.
“I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision, who hasn’t yet come forward, or any drivers who may have recorded dashcam footage that may be helpful to our investigation, to get in touch with us.”

The dad-of-one was dropped off in Carlisle after getting on the wrong bus, reports the Daily Record[3].
It’s understood he was hit by a vehicle later that evening, just after 8pm.
A GoFundMe[4] page has been launched to support John’s devastated family following the tragic incident.
So far, more than £1,400 has been raised.
“John was loved by all his family and friends, he was just about to turn 23 years old and sadly God took him too soon.
“He has a gorgeous wee boy and partner and really was adored.
“Please let’s take some pressure off his mum and give him the send-off he deserves.”
The Celtic Fan Group has called for a minute’s applause in John’s memory on the 23rd minute of the team’s match against Slovan Bratislava tomorrow.
Posting on X, they wrote: “This is John. He recently lost his life aged just 22. No age at all. He was at the Celtic game on Saturday.
“No one should ever go to a game and not come home, NO ONE. We ask that you please join in the minute’s applause on the 23rd minute on Wednesday night. Rest easy John.”
Friends and family flocked to social media[5] to remember John, who was last seen getting off a bus near Carlisle on Saturday.
One person wrote: ” Heartbreaking outcome. John, it was a pleasure to know you pal.”
A second said: “Such a good guy gone too soon.”
A third added: “Heartbreaking, a lovely young man.”
