Biker killed in Anglesey trackday crash

Male rider dies at scene in two-bike pile-up

Tweet
Posted: 30 March 2009
by Visordown News

A MOTORCYCLIST has been killed during a trackday crash at Anglesey racetrack, Wales.

The Welsh Air Ambulance attended the incident but could do nothing to save the male biker who sustained massive "traumatic" injuries in the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A second rider was also injured in the crash; sources say the man's injuries are not thought to be life threatening. A police investigation has now been launched into the crash.

The event was organised by Focused Events, one of the UK's leading trackday organisers.
