Tribute paid to husband and father who died at Mildenhall MX motocross circuit, in West Row, near Bury St Edmunds

Tribute has been paid to a husband and father who died at a motocross circuit.

Wojtek Rozmus, from London, had been riding the track at Mildenhall MX, West Row, near Mildenhall, when he was involved in the fatal incident.

It is the second death at the track in the last six months. An investigation is under way by health and safety officers.

Three ambulances, a paramedic and an air ambulance were sent to the track in Cook's Drove, on Sunday. Mr Romus, who was in his early 40s, died at the scene.

A fund-raising page has been set up to support his family.

It reads: “This is not a post any of us thought we would be writing. We lost our dear friend Wojtek Rozmus at Mildenhall Motocross Track.

“A day that will change the lives of all those lucky enough to know Wojtek.

“Wojtek was not just a husband, father, son, brother or friend. He was a role model and inspiration to so many people.

“His emphatic smile would light up the room. He had such a positive outlook on life, nothing was ever a problem, he would only see the good in people, helping those around him achieve their goals where he could.

“He had a passion for all extreme sports, motocross, off-roading, snowboarding to name but a few.

“His fierce love of his wife and children were clear for anyone to see.

“Wojtek was a proud man, a proud man of his Polish roots.

“Gone, but certainly never forgotten.”

The Justgiving fund has so far reached £26,566 against a target of £50,000.

George Edwards, 17, also died during a motocross race at the Mildenhall MX track on September 8 last year.

A spokesman for West Suffolk Council said: “We can confirm that we are investigating an incident at Mildenhall Motocross that has sadly resulted in the death of a motocross rider at the weekend and our thoughts are with their friends and family.”
