POLICE are still trying to find out what caused a 24-year-old motorcyclist to crash on a rural road near Keighley.

Brett Hames, of Foulridge, near Colne, died in Leeds General Infirmary on Friday, December 5, after he crashed on Pole Road between Cowling and Laycock.

A police spokesman said it is believed he was in collision with a black car but officers need to clarify the exact circumstances Police have renewed their appeal for information and particularly want to speak to the drivers of a lorry and a Luton van who stopped at the scene of the collision. They have also widened their appeal to anyone who was travelling along Pole Road on that afternoon to contact them.

Mr Hames’s family and his partner Rebecca Gregory (pictured with Mr Hames) have backed the new appeal for information.
