Police are appealing for witnesses and footage after a motorcyclist  died following a collision in Preston.

Emergency services were called at 3:48pm on Sunday 8th December to Navigation Way, Preston, to a report of a road traffic collision.

When officers attended, they found that a rider had come off his motorbike.

Very sadly, the motorcyclist, an 18 year old man, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
