A MAN HAS DIED FOLLOWING A COLLISION IN URMSTON

Officers were called around 9.55am on Sunday 20 March 2022 to Church Road, Urmston to a report of a collision involving a motorbike.

Enquiries have since established that the motorbike - a Yahama MT-07 ABS - had been travelling along the road in tandem with two other motorbikes when the rider fell from the vehicle into the carriageway.

An investigation is ongoing to determine how he came to fall but at this stage it is believed he may have been in collision with another rider in tandem.

The rider - a 33-year-old man - was taken to hospital but has since sadly died as a result of his injuries.

His next of kin have been informed.
