A motorcyclist has died in a crash with a car towing a caravan.

The man was travelling on the A40 near Dursley Cross in Gloucestershire at about 12:00 BST on Monday when the crash happened.

The victim, in his 70s from Hampshire, died at the scene. The car's driver, a man in his 50s, sustained minor injuries.

A stretch of the A40 was closed until about 19:30 for police investigations to take place.

It was the second fatal crash involving a motorcyclist in Gloucestershire over the bank holiday. A 61-year-old man died in a three-vehicle crash between Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh on Sunday.
