A PICKERING motorcyclist who died in a collision in Scarborough has been named.

Colin Agar, 45, died in hospital ten days after being involved in a collision in Centurion Way on Saturday, June 11.

He was fatally injured after the black Yamaha motorbike he was riding west bound along Scarborough Road at the junction with Centurion Way was involved in a collision with a black Kia Sorrento.

The driver of the Kia was not injured.

Police investigating the collision have identified three potentially vital witnesses they would like to speak to.

The first witness police are keen to trace is the driver of a blue Peugeot, travelling towards Crossgates. The driver stopped at the scene of the collision and may have witnessed the incident.

Officers would also like to trace a couple who were out walking their dog. They stopped at the scene of the collision and the woman helped to administer first aid to the motorcyclist.

Traffic Constable Emma Wallace, of North Yorkshire Police's Roads Policing Group, said: "It is vital to our investigation that these people come forward and help us establish the circumstances surrounding the collision."

Anyone who can help the investigation is urged to contact TC Wallace, on 0845 60 60 24 7, quoting reference number 12110096050.
