A man has died following a serious collision in Northleach yesterday (Wednesday 12 August) and officers are appealing for information.

We were called at around 4.40pm with a report of a collision on the A429 Fosseway near to The Old Prison.

The collision involved a green and black Kawasaki ZX900 motorcycle, a white Scania tipper lorry and a grey Nissan Juke.

Emergency services attended and the rider of the motorbike, a man aged in his 40s and from the Cotswolds, was treated by paramedics at the scene but passed away from his injuries.
