A child in the car was taken to hospital but was uninjured.
Mr Salter's partner, Claire Upton, said: "He was a big man with an even bigger heart of gold. He would always make time for me, the children and his friends."
The 38-year-old owned of a Jaguar dealership in Prenton.
Miss Upton said: "When he was young he had a true passion for cycling and regularly entered competitions.
