June 20, 2024 by

A MOTORCYCLIST who was involved in a collision with a police car has died in hospital it was confirmed today.

The man, aged in his 60s, was seriously injured in the incident which happened in the Maydown Road area of Derry, in the vicinity of Maydown Police Station, at around 1pm yesterday afternoon (June 19).

He was taken to hospital, but the driver of the police car was uninjured.

In a statement made today, the PSNI confirmed that the man has since “sadly died”.

Inspector Cherith Adair, from the PSNI’s Collision Investigation Unit, said: “A report was received shortly after 1pm of a collision involving a police vehicle driven by a contracted member of police staff and a motorcycle in the vicinity of Maydown Police Station.
