Family pay tribute to young father killed by dangerous driver

The heartbroken family of a young father killed in a car crash has shared a moving tribute to him.

Muhammad Aftab Ahmad, aged 20, known affectionately as Tabi, died after he was hit by a car driven by Nomazwe Moyo.

Moyo was driving at around double the 30mph speed limit when she crashed into Tabi's moped and caused a multi-vehicle crash in A610 Bobbers Mill Bridge at 8.30am on 18 October, 2025.

Despite the best efforts of an off-duty police officer and other emergency services, Tabi was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.

Tabi's devastated loved ones have now shared a heartfelt tribute to the "family man who was loved by everyone that knew him".

In a statement, his family said: "The loss of our beloved Aftab, affectionately known as Tabi, has left a deep void in our hearts.

"Taken from us at just 20 years old, he was a cherished son, brother, husband, father, and the heart of our family.

"Tabi’s kindness, laughter, and warm spirit touched everyone who knew him. He was a devoted husband and loving father to his two young children, whom he loved dearly.

"His sudden passing has left us heartbroken, but we hold close the memories and love he shared with us.

"Though his life was far too short, Tabi’s legacy of love, joy, and compassion will never be forgotten. His spirit lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

"Forever loved. Forever remembered."

Moyo, aged 35, of Eltham Close, Broxtowe, was jailed on Thursday, 18 June at Nottingham Crown Court for 12 years and disqualified from driving for life.

She pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and to driving while uninsured in February.
