Motorcyclist dies after crash on A30 near Blackwater

We're appealing for witnesses after a motorcyclist in his 50s died after his blue bike and a white Citroen Berlingo van crashed on the A30 between Blackwater and Blackbushe Airport.

It happened about 4.15pm yesterday, Tuesday, April 27. The road was closed in both directions for several hours while officers dealt with the crash and carried out their investigation.

We're asking for anyone who saw the accident or the vehicles in the moments before the crash to contact us on 101 quoting Op Bera. We'd also like to hear from anyone who has dash cam footage of the collision.

A man, aged 44, from Aldershot has been arrested in connection with the incident.
