Arrest after biker dies in crash at road junction

A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving after a motorcyclist was killed in a crash.

The 38-year-old victim died at the scene at the junction of Waterloo Road and Vandries Street in Vauxhall, Liverpool on Wednesday.

He was riding an AJS Highway Star motorbike which collided with a Volkswagen ID3 at about 19:00 BST, Merseyside Police said.

A 24 year-old man from Liverpool remains in police custody for questioning.

Emergency services, including the North West Ambulance Service and the air ambulance, attended the scene, the force said.

Det Sgt Kurt Timpson said the family of the man who died had been informed and was being supported by specially trained officers.

He appealed for anyone with information to contact the force.

"I would also ask motorists to please check your dashcam footage to urgently review it if you were driving in the area last night," he said.

"These devices can often capture key evidence in the moments leading up to the collision."
