Police are appealing for witnesses after the death of a Bournemouth motorcyclist yesterday evening. 

It happened along Ashley Road in Parkstone at about ten to six, when the 45 year old's bike collided with a Peugeot 306, as it turned into the parade of shops opposite the junction with Wesley Close.

He died from his injuries at the scene despite efforts from the public, police officers and paramedics to resuscitate him... while the car's driver - a 30 year old woman from Poole - and her 12 year old daughter, were unhurt but suffered extreme shock.
