Appeal for witnesses after fatal collision in Newport

We’re appealing for information following a fatal collision on Whiterails Road yesterday evening (Thursday 15 July).

 

We were called at 6.45pm to a report of a collision between a car and a motorbike.

 

The motorcyclist was transported to St Mary’s Hospital where he was later pronounced dead, despite the best efforts of the emergency services.

 

Next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

 

We are appealing for information from anyone who may have been travelling in the area at the time of the incident. Did you witness the collision, or do you have dashcam footage that could assist our investigation?

 

A road closure was put in place but the carriageway has now re-opened.

 

Anyone with any information is asked to call us on 101 with reference 44210279717.
