The incident was referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner, as is routine.

Road Policing Inspector Neil Morrison said: “I would appeal to anyone who saw a red motorcycle in the lead-up to the incident to get in touch as soon as possible as our inquiries continue.

“Any dash-cam footage or private CCTV in particular could be extremely useful.”
