A MOTORCYCLIST who died following a traffic collision near Much Cowarne last Friday has been named by police as 17 year-old Ainsley Smith.
The Hereford resident died in the early hours of Saturday May 3 after his yellow Aprilia bike was in collision with a blue Range Rover on the A4103 outside Fir Tree Garage at 11.15am.
The road was closed until 6pm after Mr Smith was airlifted to Birmingham’s Selly Oak Hospital with serious injuries.
The male driver of the oncoming 4x4, which was travelling towards Worcester, and a passenger were unhurt.
An inquest is expected to be opened and adjourned later today.
