THE inquest into the death of Kieran 'Keeks' Albert who was killed on a quad bike is set to conclude next week.
Mr Albert, known to friends as Kiki or Keeks, suffered serious injuries in a crash on Great Horton Road, near the University of Bradford last year.
The 31-year-old's quad was involved in a collision with a Volkswagen Caddy at 5.40pm on April 19, 2021, as he rode away from the city centre.
An inquest into his death was first opened on May 4 last year at Bradford Coroners' Court by Assistant Coroner Mary Burke.
The brief hearing was told Mr Albert was part of a convoy with one other quad travelling up Great Horton Road, when his vehicle veered off and collided with another vehicle.
The rider was thrown from the quad, colliding with bollards before landing on the pavement.
Police and paramedics were called to the scene and despite the efforts of paramedics he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mr Albert, of Padma Close, Listerhills, was identified at the scene by his mother Sharon Albert.
The inquest was then adjourned to allow the ongoing police investigation into the incident at the time to continue.
But a date has now been set for the inquest to reopen.
The hearing is scheduled for next Tuesday (November 29) and is expected to come to a close on the same day.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police confirmed its investigation had been concluded and that it would be finalised at the inquest.
A flood of tributes were left at the scene of the crash after Mr Albert's death, with flowers and candles also placed there.
He was described as a "happy chap" who "always had a smile on his face".
Bilal Hussain, 33, who was at the scene the day after the horror crash, said he had known Mr Albert since around eight or nine years old.
He added: "He always had a smile on his face, always time for everyone. He would go out of his way."
Another friend at the scene added: "He was a very happy chap, he was always a jolly type of guy. He was a nice guy."
They said he was well known in the community and another person paying tribute where flowers had been left added: "If you were in trouble, he would be there for you."
