Police are appealing for witnesses and footage following a serious collision in Chester this morning (10 May).

At 11.45am, police were called to reports of a collision on A41 in Chester, Backford Dip - between Church Lane and the A5032.

The crash involved a man who was riding a motorcycle and has suffered "serious injuries".

Officers are in the early stages of their investigation and are appealing for any witnesses who have not already spoken to police to get in touch with them - as well as anyone with CCTV or dash cam footage.

As part of their enquiries, officers would also like to speak to the driver of a grey Audi.

The vehicle was traveling along the A41 at the time of the collision.

They would also like to speak to the driver of a second vehicle which was traveling in close proximity to the Audi.

Inspector Steve Griffiths said: "Our investigation is in its early stages and we would like to appeal to any witnesses or anyone with dash cam or CCTV footage to get in touch with us.

"We are also urging the driver of a grey Audi which was traveling in the area at the time of the collision to contact us, as well as the driver of a second vehicle which was traveling in close proximity to the Audi.

"Anyone who may have footage of these vehicles is also asked to contact us."
