Death crash plea to biker
Saturday 21st March 2009, 11:45AM GMT.
Police investigating a crash near Whitchurch in which an off-duty officer was killed today appealed for a mystery rider to come forward.
Detective Constable Alan Brady, a father-of-two, died at the scene of the collision on the A49 Tarporley Road, in Willey Moor, between Whitchurch and Bickley in Cheshire on Sunday.
The 49-year-old, from Urmston, Manchester, was riding with a group of friends when the tragedy happened.
Today, officers appealed for the rider of a white motorcyle to get in touch.
A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: “Officers investigating the collision are keen to trace the rider of a white-coloured Triumph Speed Triple motorcycle.
“This motorcycle had been travelling along the A49 around the time of the collision in the direction of Whitchurch. The rider joined a party of six motorcyclists and, although not actually part of that group, travelled along the A49 with the group towards Whitchurch.”
Mr Brady’s friends and family said: “This was a terrible tragedy in which a much-loved man has been taken from his family.”
Mr Brady died after his red Honda Fireblade motorcycle, which was travelling towards Whitchurch, collided with a black Jeep travelling the other way just after 10.30am.
Anyone with information should call 0845 4580000.
