A man has died following a crash in Chester on Saturday morning (10 May).

Police were called at 11.45am following reports of a collision on A41 in Chester, Backford Dip - between Church Lane and the A5032.

The incident involved a motorcycle and a grey Audi.

It has now been confirmed that the motorcyclist, a 58-year-old man from Ellesmere Port, died following the collision.

His family are currently being supported by specialist officers.

The driver of the Audi, a 23-year-old man, has since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop after a road accident and failing to report a road accident.

He has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

As part of their enquiries, officers would now like to speak to two people who were travelling in a car and who spoke to the driver of a grey Audi shortly after the collision.

Inspector Steve Griffiths said: "Firstly, our thoughts are with the motorcyclist's family and friends at this incredibly sad time.

"As we continue our investigation into the circumstances of this incident, we are continuing to appeal to any witnesses or anyone with dash cam or CCTV footage to get in touch with us.

"To aid our enquiries, we're also urging anyone who believes they match the description of the people we are looking to speak to, to contact us."
