A man arrested in connection with the death of a motorcyclist in an accident near Bridgnorth has been released on bail pending further inquiries.
The man, from the West Midlands, was arrested on Wednesday following the collision on Sunday afternoon on the A458, at Mose near the crossroads leading to Claverley and Quatt.
He was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop after a collision and failing to report a collision.
Police had been questioning him in connection with the accident in which motorcyclist Anthony Craig Hick died. Mr Hick, of Cradley Heath, West Midlands, was 59.
Police had been hunting for a metallic grey blue or silvery blue BMW believed to have been involved in the incident. But detectives today said they had now traced the vehicle.
A police spokesman said: “A man from the West Midlands, arrested on Wednesday morning, has now been released on bail pending further inquiries.
“Police are no longer seeking the BMW after establishing its whereabouts.
“But we are still anxious to hear from anyone who either saw the collision at around midday on Sunday, or who spotted the BMW or silver Triumph Dayton motorcycle being driven immediately beforehand.”
An inquest into Mr Hick’s death was opened and adjourned on Wednesday.
