A MOTORCYCLIST has died after a crash near to the English and Welsh border.
The A40 was closed between Whitchurch in Herefordshire and Monmouth last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called by the police to reports of a single motorcycle crash on the A40, near to the Welsh border, at 10.09pm yesterday (Thursday).
A local community first responder, a paramedic officer, an ambulance, two critical care paramedics together with Wales Air Ambulance from Cardiff were sent to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “When ambulance crews arrived they found a motorcyclist, a man, in a critical condition. Police officers were already on scene providing CPR to the man.
"When ambulance crews commenced emergency treatment, it sadly became apparent that nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed deceased a short time later.”
