Police have launched an appeal after a man has died following a serious collision in Stockport.

At around 6.00pm on Tuesday 15 January 2019, police were called to reports of a collision involving a red Ford Transit van and a black and yellow Suzuki DL motor cycle on Macclesfield Road at the junction with the A555 Manchester Airport Eastern Link Road

The rider of the Suzuki, a 30-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he has since died.

The driver of the van was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He has since been released under investigation and enquiries are ongoing.

Police Constable Suzanne Keenan, of GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the man’s family at this unimaginably difficult time.

“We have a dedicated team that are working to piece together the circumstances of the collision so we can give them the answers they deserve.

“I would urge anyone who witnessed this collision or has CCTV or dash-cam footage that could assist our enquiries to please get in touch as soon as possible.　

“I am particularly keen to speak with anyone who was on Macclesfield Road side of the junction at the time.”
