Chief Inspector Daniel Taylor, of Gwent Police, said no other vehicles were involved in the crash.

    Always wanted to try a motorbike but too many news reports like this puts me off, our roads are in poor condition to tackle on four wheels let alone two, and too many car drivers do not look properly at road junctions and are oblivious to motorbikes.
