Driver arrested after fatal motorbike collision

A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a motorcyclist died in a collision with a car in Shropshire.

A black Superduke motorbike and a silver Ford Focus collided on the B4380 at Emstrey Bank, in Atcham, on Friday evening.

The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, West Mercia Police said.

A man in his 30s was arrested and later released on bail, the force added.

Flowers and hand-written notes have been left at the scene.

Officers said they would like anyone who was near the scene, particularly motorists who noticed a red Ford Mustang around the time or leading up to the incident just after 17:00 BST, to contact them.

Police also want to identify the driver of a grey VW Transporter that was directly behind the red Mustang at a set of traffic lights on the roundabout before heading down the B4380 towards Atcham.
