An inquest has opened into the death of a motorcyclist who was fatally injured in a crash with a car in Bradford.

John White, 55, of Cliff View Cottage, Kettlewell, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in Canal Road at 5.40pm on Monday.

Mr White, who was married, worked as a road marker for Kirklees Council.

Assistant Bradford Coroner Oliver Longstaff adjourned yesterday’s hearing pending further inquiries.

Police have appealed for witnesses who saw the crash between the blue Yamaha bike and a red Kia Picanto at the junction with Frizinghall Road to contact police on 101.
