Tullyraine Road crash claims life of motorcyclist

A man has died after a crash involving a tractor and motorbike.

The 33-year-old motorcylist, from Lurgan , died in the collision in Banbridge on Thursday morning.

It happened after 10am on the Tullyraine Road.

PSNI Inspector Gary Moore said: "The collision occurred shortly after 10am on the Tullyrain Road and involved a tractor and a motorcycle. 

"Sadly, the male motorcyclist, from the Lurgan area, has passed away. 

"The driver of the tractor was treated at the scene for shock and subsequently taken to hospital by the NIAS as a precaution. 

"The Tullyraine Road remains closed in both directions this afternoon as we examine the area of the collision. 

"I would appeal to anyone who was in the area and captured the collision on their dash cam, or who saw either vehicle prior to the collision to contact police on the non emergency number 101, quoting reference number 458 of 19/09/19."
