Officers investigating a fatal crash in Carlisle are appealing again, for witnesses to come forward.

33-year-old Jason Farmer was riding a motorbike on Wigton Road on Monday afternoon at around 3pm when he collided with a van and sadly died at the scene.

Police are keen to speak to another motorcyclist (pictured above) seen in the area at the time who they believe might be able to assist with their investigation.

Detectives are working to piece together exactly what happened, including in the time leading up to the fatal collision, and are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen two motorbikes riding around the Dalston area or the vicinity of the collision on Wigton Road, in the time leading up to the collision.

They're also looking to hear from anyone who has a dashcam and was travelling in the same areas around the time of the collision.
