“Officers attended, alongside colleagues from other emergency services who provided first aid to the man, who was 70-year-old Richard Maze. However, he sadly died at the scene from his injuries.
“Richard was the rider of a motorcycle that was in collision with a dark-coloured car that failed to stop.
