Officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a man sadly died following a collision in Newcastle.
At 9pm on Sunday (April 13), police received a report via the ambulance service of a single vehicle collision involving a motorcycle on Kingfisher Boulevard at the junction with Goldcrest Way, in Newburn.
A 19-year-old man – believed to the rider of the motorcycle – sustained serious injuries in the incident and was taken to hospital by paramedics for treatment.
Sadly, he was pronounced dead a short time later.
The man’s next of kin have been informed of his death and they are being supported by specially trained officers.
A full investigation into the collision has been launched and officers are calling on anyone who may have information about what happened to contact them.
Sergeant John Sanderson, of Northumbria Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are firmly with the family and friends of the young man who has sadly passed away at this devastating time.
“We will offer them all of the support they need.
“An investigation into the collision in which the man sustained his injuries has been launched and we are keen to hear from anybody who was in the area at the time.
“Your information – no matter how small or insignificant you think it may be – could help us ascertain exactly what took place.”
Witnesses should send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media or use the live chat or report forms which are both on the Force website.
For those unable to make contact via those ways, call 101.
