A MAN died after his motorbike was involved in a collision with a car at an accident blackspot on the A46 at Billesley.

The man, who was aged 32 and from Coventry, was travelling from Alcester towards Stratford when the accident happened on the bend at the top of Red Hill.

His Honda 400 motorbike was in collision with a blue Ford Mondeo, driven by a 46-year-old Alcester woman.

Police are appealing for witnesses, particularly anyone who saw the blue motorbike before the accident.

The rider was wearing a blue helmet.

Anyone with information can call Pc Roy Wyatt on 01926 415000.

Councillor Susan Juned, who represents Alcester on Stratford District Council and Warwickshire County Council, expressed her concerns about road safety after the accident.

She said: "This is a well-known blackspot. The real problem is the sheer volume of traffic on the A46.

"We have to find an answer to it but I am not an expert so I don't know what that answer is."

Mrs Juned added: "We've got to ask the experts to come up with something."
