Man killed in motorbike crash on A1(M) near Darlington
A man tragically died in a fatal motorbike crash on the A1(M) on Friday night. The single-vehicle crash happened between junction 57 and junction 56, near Barton, just six-miles from Darlington[1], at about 9.30pm on April 5. It involved an orange-coloured motorcycle travelling south on the motorway.
The motorcycle left the carriageway and ended up on the grass verge. Sadly, the male biker was pronounced dead at the scene. The road was closed to allow emergency services to attend to the collision and for investigators to examine the scene. North Yorkshire[2] Police are now appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
A spokesperson said: “We are appealing to anyone who may have seen the motorcycle and its rider prior to collision, may have relevant dashcam footage, or may have witnessed the collision, to get in touch if they have not already spoken to officers. “If you can help the investigation, please contact North Yorkshire Police on 101 and pass information for incident 12240059438.”
