Brandern Holly died after crashing a "distinctive yellow" Suzuki bike on South Road in Speke, police say

A motorcyclist who was killed in a crash on a slip road was a “kind, loving and caring person”, his family have said.

Brandern Holly, 20, from Preston, died after he crashed on South Road in Speke, near the Jaguar Land Rover site, at about 19:15 BST on Friday, Merseyside Police said.

The force appealed for anyone who saw his "distinctive yellow" Suzuki bike and anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.

His family said Mr Holly would "do anything for anyone" and he would be "missed by all of his [relatives], close friends and everyone that knows him.”

Det Sgt Kurt Timpson said: "This collision happened on the entry slip road to the Jaguar Land Rover site.

"We know that the motorcycle was travelling eastbound, having exited Penketh Drive near to the Morrisons Superstore and had turned right.

"Early enquiries show a number of vehicles in the area at that time and I believe it will have been witnessed by members of the public or have been captured on dash cameras."

He asked people to urgently review their footage.
