Motorcyclist Dies In South Worcestershire Collision

A 19-year-old Malvern motorcyclist who died in a road traffic collision has been named as Carl Rhys Cocks, of Lansdowne Close.

He was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision on the B4424 Powick to Old Hills road, Callow End, which occurred at approximately 4.40pm on 26 June.

His white Yamaha TZF125 was in collision with a red Fiat Punto and a black Vauxhall Astra, both travelling in the opposite direction towards Callow End.

West Merica Police are trying to trace a red Volkswagen Transporter, which was not involved in the collision but was being overtaken by the motorcycle when the collision occurred and whose driver did not stop at the scene.

Police are also appealing for witnesses to the incident - or anyone who saw any of the vehicles being driven a few minutes beforehand.  Information can be given on 0300 333 3000, quoting 636S/260610, or - anonymously - to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
