Motorcyclist David Anderson (42) from Coleraine died following a road traffic collision shortly before 4.30pm on the Tornagrough road in Hannahstown, Co Antrim on Sunday afternoon.

Inspector Jim McGrillen of the PSNI has appealed for anyone who witnessed the collision or who was travelling on the Tornagrough Road to contact the Collision Investigation Unit of the local police in Lisburn on the non-emergency number 101.

PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Alan Todd said, “With many people enjoying some time off over the coming week, we are appealing to all road users to exercise caution, as our statistics illustrate that, like any other holiday period, there is an increased risk of collisions.”
