Man Dies In Co Antrim Collision
A 25-year-old man has died in a motorcycle collision in Co Antrim.
The two-vehicle crash happened on Main Street in Ballycarry shortly before 10pm on Thursday, 1 June.
Police are appealing for a second motorcyclist, who may have been injured and left the scene, to contact them.
The PSNI believe one of the bikes collided with a parked car.
Inspector Peter Duncan said: "This has tragically resulted in the death of one of the riders, a man aged in his 20s. It is believed the rider of the second motorcycle, who may have sustained injuries in the collision, left the scene on foot and has yet to be located.
"I would appeal to the rider of the second motorcycle to contact police as they may have information which would assist our enquiries. I would also appeal to anyone who saw two motorcycles being driven in the Ballycarry area on Thursday evening or who witnessed the collision to contact police in Larne on 101 quoting reference number 1306 01/06/17."
