The 27-year-old rider hit a crash barrier and subsequently died at the scene from his injuries. An inquest was opened but adjourned on September 28.

A police spokesman said “We are appealing for any motorists who saw the crash, and anyone who might have seen the motorcycle being ridden in the area beforehand.”
