Further appeal for witnesses after motorcyclist dies in collision

We are continuing to appeal for witnesses and dashcam footage after a motorcyclist died in a collision on the A500 recently.

We were called shortly before 10pm on Friday (4 October) to the A500 at Audley towards junction 16 of the M6 following reports of a collision.

Emergency services attended and found a motorbike involved in a collision with a central reservation. Sadly, the motorcyclist, a man in his 20s, was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene. His family are being supported by specialist officers at this difficult time.

Our inquiries are continuing and though we are no longer treating the incident as a suspected non-stop collision, we are keen to understand the movements of a dark-coloured vehicle which we believe was travelling northbound on the A500 towards the motorway at the time of the collision.

We would like to speak to anyone who was travelling along the A500 Wolstanton to Junction 16 of the M6, in either direction, between 9.45pm and 10pm on 4 October.

Witnesses are urged to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit with any information or footage they may have.

Anyone with information should contact us on 101 quoting incident number 761 of 4 October or email the collision investigation unit directly at [email protected]
