A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a motorcyclist died on a dual carriageway.

The rider, in his 50s and from Aylesbury, died after losing control on the A34 as he passed underneath the M4 near Chieveley, Berkshire.

The 43-year-old arrested man, from Oxford, was also detained for failing to stop after a road traffic collision.
