A motorcycle rider has died following a collision in Chorley.
Police were called at 5.30pm yesterday (Monday, April 14th) after a Kawasaki ZX 600 travelling north from the town centre on Park Road lost control on a right-hand bend, close to the entrance with Astley Park.

“I would like to appeal to anyone who saw what happened or who saw the motorbike prior to the collision, or anyone who has any CCTV, dashcam, Ring doorbell or mobile footage to get in touch.”
