Tue, 29 Mar 2011

A motorcyclist has died following a three-vehicle crash at Greeba.

It happened outside the Hawthorn Restaurant at around 4.30pm yesterday.

Police say a blue Renault Modus collided with a silver Suzuki motorbike, which was being ridden towards Peel.

Also involved was a blue Ford Mondeo which was travelling in the same direction as the bike.

The next of kin and the Coroner of Inquests have been informed.

Police say they're not releasing the identity of the man until formal identification has been carried out.

However, he's been named locally as 34 year old Alex Williamson from Peel.

Investigators say there would have been a fair amount of traffic on the road at the time of the crash and they're appealing for witnesses.
