Police are yet to identify the cyclist.
Police are no longer looking for a hit-and-run driver following the death of an A500 motorcyclist. They were treating Friday night’s tragedy as a’suspected non-stop collision’.
But that line of research has now been abandoned. It comes as investigators continue to try to put together the exact movements of a ‘dark-coloured car’ at the core of the inquiry.
The rider had been heading towards the M6 junction 16 roundabout when he collided with the central reservation near the Audley junction. He was pronounced deceased at the scene of the incident shortly before 10 p.m. on Friday.
A spokesperson on the A500 said, “We are still looking for witnesses and dashcam evidence after a motorcycle died in a collision on the A500. We were dispatched to the A500 at Audley, near junction 16 of the M6, after receiving reports of a collision. Emergency personnel responded and discovered a motorbike involved in a collision with a central reservation. Unfortunately, the motorcyclist, a man in his twenties, was pronounced dead by paramedics on the spot. His family is being assisted by specialist personnel during this trying period.
