A MOTORCYCLIST from Astley has been killed in an accident in North Wales.

Michael Spencer, 27, of Cherry Tree Farm, Rindale Road, died when his Yamaha bike left the road as he negotiated a right-hand bend shortly after noon on Sunday.

He was travelling on the A543 towards Denbigh when the accident happened, two miles outside Pentrefoelas.

No other vehicle is believed to have been involved in the crash and police in North Wales are asking anyone who was a witness to contact them.
