Police appeal for witnesses to fatal collision in Bromfield
Police are appealing for witnesses after a motorcyclist died following a collision involving a lorry in Bromfield.
The collision happened on the A49 Bromfield to Ludlow road at around 2.30pm on Tuesday.
The Aprilla ETV motorcycle was travelling north from Ludlow towards Bromfield and the Volvo lorry in the opposite direction. Both vehicles caught fire after the collision.
Diversions were set up and the main A49 remained closed while the emergency services worked at the scene.
The motorcyclist, who died at the scene, has yet to be formally identified but is believed to be a man in his sixties from the mid Wales area.
A post mortem is due to take place on Thursday.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: “We are continuing to investigate the circumstances leading up to this tragedy and urging anyone who can assist to contact Ludlow or Shrewsbury police stations by calling 101.”
The Shropshire coroner, Mr John Ellery, will open an inquest in due course.
No-one else was injured in the collision.
