Biker in his 20s dies after crashing into traffic island in Morley

A man has died after crashing his motorbike into a traffic island near a busy road junction on the outskirts of Morley.

The incident happened in the early hours of Saturday, March 23, when the biker hit a recently-built traffic island on Asquith Avenue near Aspect Building Solutions and Morley doors and windows, close to the junction with Gelderd Road.

The 22-year-old suffered serious injuries in the crash and was taken to hospital, but sadly died a short time later.

Enquiries are still ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the crash, but West Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward with information.

This is why dozens of police officers suddenly rushed into Trinity Leeds on Saturday afternoon 

Officers are particularly keen to speak to a pedal cyclist who was seen in the area shortly after the collision.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has any information is asked to contact the Major Collision Enquiry Team via 101 quoting log number 123 of 23 March.
