Appeal following fatal collision near Weston-super-Mare

We are appealing for witnesses and dashcam following a fatal collision near Weston-super-Mare yesterday (Sunday 4 October).

Officers were called at around 2pm yesterday to the A370 at Bleadon following reports of a single-vehicle motorcycle collision.

The motorcycle left the carriageway and sadly the rider died at the scene.

The family of the 53-year-old man have been informed and our thoughts are with them during this incredibly difficult time. They will be offered the support of a specialist family liaison officer.

Road closures were in place between the roundabout with Weston Hospital and the East Brent traffic light junction. The road reopened at 9.25pm.

We are keen to hear from anyone who may have been in the area and witnessed the collision, or have dashcam footage, and ask them to call us.
