Tributes have been paid to the father of Derbyshire cricketer Tom Poynton who died in a car crash.
Wicketkeeper Tom was also involved in the incident, which killed his father Keith.
Police said the crash happened in Caldwell Road, near Rosliston, on Friday at about 8pm, and 23-year-old Tom was taken to Burton Queen's Hospital with serious, but not-life threatening, injuries.
Keith's wife, Sheena, took to social media site Twitter to pay her respects.
She said: "I'm overwhelmed by all the support & love for my lovely husband Keith.
"He would've been humbled by it all. RIP My Darling!
"Keith was a true gentleman, a family man always & I don't yet know how I'll live without him."
Keith and Sheena's son, Adam, also paid tribute on Twitter.
He said: "Thank you for all your kind messages today during the worst day of our lives. I am so proud to have had a dad loved by so many. #RIPDAD"
Floral tributes have been left at the scene of the crash and hundreds of messages have been posted on Twitter paying tribute to Keith and offering sympathies to the Poynton family.
Derbyshire County Cricket Club said Tom was taken to hospital by ambulance and treated overnight for a "suspected fracture and other associated injuries".
The club's match at Leicestershire today has been postponed.
In a statement, the club said: "Everyone at the club are deeply distressed and concerned for Tom and his family.
"In consultation with the ECB and Leicestershire CCC, the decision has been taken to postpone the LV County Championship Division Two game, which was due to start tomorrow at Grace Road.
"The fixture has been provisionally rescheduled to take place on Sunday 8 June to Wednesday 11 June.
"The Second XI friendly fixture between Derbyshire and Leicestershire, which was due to start at The 3aaa County Ground this week on Monday 7 April has also been postponed and will be moved to a date to be agreed."
Tom, described as a highly-regarded wicketkeeper, has been with the club since the age of 11 and made his first-team debut during the 2007 Twenty20 group stages.
He made his Championship debut against Middlesex in July the same year.
Chief executive Simon Storey said: "We are a small close knit group here at Derbyshire and Tom's dad was well-known to our players and coaching staff.
"We are still trying to come to terms with the devastating news and at the moment our concerns are solely with Tom and his family at this difficult time.
"We are deeply indebted to the chairman, chief executive and director of cricket at Leicestershire CCC who have supported the decision to postpone the game. I am very sorry to everyone who was looking forward to the opening fixture."
A statement from Leicestershire Cricket Club's website said: "Our thoughts are with Derbyshire CCC at this tragic time."
A police spokesman said
Tina Costa, 45, who lives in Linton Road, near where the collision took place, said she knew of Keith and spoke of her sadness about his death.
She said: "I was very shocked when I found out. It's very tragic circumstances for it to happen.
"Keith was a very nice person and he used to walk his dog through the village. He was very polite and would always speak. He was also very well-liked.
"I know Tom and absolutely everybody is thinking of him and his family right now. I really hope they are ok."
"It's just been a big shock."
A spokesman for Derbyshire police said the cause of the collision is unknown but the collision investigation unit are carrying out a thorough investigation.
He said: "Keith's untimely death leaves behind his two sons, Adam and Thomas along with his wife who was his best friend, Sheena."
