A motorcyclist, who died in a collision on the A621 near Owler Bar on Monday, July 15, has been named as Jay Titterton, from Derby.

The family of Mr Titterton, who was 48, are being supported by specialist officers and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.

We were called to reports of a collision at around 3.15pm on the A621 near the junction with Car Road.
