Witness appeal after elderly motorcyclist killed in collision

In the appeal, Sergeant Maguire said: “Shortly after 9:05am, police received a report of a road traffic collision at the Upper Road area of the town involving a motorbike, a black Mercedes Vito and a black Honda Accord.

“Sadly, the motorcyclist died at the scene as a result of his injuries.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have been in the area of the Upper Road at the junctions with the Trooperslane Road and the Upper Station Road last Monday and may have witnessed the incident or who may have dash-cam footage, to contact police on 101 quoting reference 371 08/11/21.”
