Almost £10,000 has been raised in five days in tribute to a 24-year-old man who died in a motorcycle crash on Monday (May 15).
Matthew Marriage was riding his Ducati motorcycle when he collided with a Vauxhall Zafira on the A4074 between Nuneham Courtenay and Berinsfield at around 5.50pm.
He later died of his injuries in the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

A GoFundMe page has since raised over £9,500 in honour of Mr Marriage, a mechanic who lived with his parents and three younger brothers in Chalgrove.
The funds will contribute to building a pathway around Chalgrove Recreation Ground to help people to learn to ride bikes and for parents to push buggies.

Flowers have been laid by Mr Marriage’s family near the spot where he crashed and emotional tributes have been paid to him on social media.
Tomorrow morning (May 21), Mr Marriage will be remembered at an event at Watlington Recreation Ground where he used to ride his longboard with his brothers and friends.
On Monday (May 22), there will be a ‘ride of respect’ by motorcyclists who will set off at 6.30pm from H Cafe in Berinsfield.
