THE motorcyclist killed in a road accident near Riccall has been named as Robert Lee, 24, of Barlby, Selby.
Officers issued a fresh appeal for witnesses today after Mr Lee became the sixth biker in a month to be killed on a North Yorkshire road.
Mr Lee died on the A19 between Riccall and Escrick on Wednesday when his Honda 600cc motorcycle and a green Volvo car collided head-on.
Mr Lee, a married man, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. The car driver was treated in York Hospital for minor injuries.
Officers are keen to speak to the driver of a car towing a caravan and the driver of a blue car just behind heading towards York at the time of the accident.
