Derbyshire Police are appealing for witnesses and drivers with dashcam footage to come forward after a motorcyclist died in a collision.

The force was called to reports of a collision between a Honda motorcycle and BMW 1 Series car at 10.20am today (Tuesday 13 June) at the junction of Brookside Road and the A608.

A man in his 20s from Derby, who was riding the bike, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the BMW, a man in his 20s from the Matlock area, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains in police custody.

Witnesses at the scene reported seeing two cars, one believed to be orange and the other white, turning left into Brookside Road at the same time as the collision occurred.

Officers are keen to speak to the drivers of these vehicles along with any other witnesses – in particular any drivers with dashcam footage which captured the collision or the moments leading up to it.
