A MOTORCYCLIST who was killed in a crash last week has been named by police.

Ian Jackson, 47 from Batley, died following the crash on the A62 Leeds Road, Liversedge, on August 24.

It happened after a red and white Honda CBR motorbike, which Mr Jackson was riding, was involved in a crash with the offside of a Range Rover as it was passing.

It was then involved in a second crash with a black Peugeot 206, travelling on the opposite carriageway.

Sergeant Ann Drury, of the Major Collision and Enquiry Team, said: “This was clearly a very sad and serious incident in which a man has lost his life.

“We are continuing to investigate the circumstances and would appeal for any witnesses or anyone with information to get in contact with police.

“We would also like to speak to anyone who saw the vehicles involved driving in the area around the time of the collision or anyone who may have recorded dashcam footage of the incident.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Major Collision Enquiry Team via 101 quoting log number 334 of 24 August or use the live chat facility at www.westyorkshire.police.uk
