Police appeal over biker death crash
Police today launched an appeal for witnesses after a motorcyclist died in a head-on crash near Stourport.
The motorcyclist was riding a blue Triumph Sprint 1000cc bike eastwards along Crown Lane, in Waresley, yesterday morning when the accident happened.
Officers say the bike was travelling from the A449 towards Hartlebury Trading Estate when it crashed with a silver Peugeot Expert van shortly after 6.30am.
