A Blackpool motorcyclist has been killed after smashing into a tree following a collision with a van.
Police said the 44-year-old man, David Walker of Aysgarth Court, South Shore, died when his 49cc Aprilla motorcycle collided with the white Ford Transit van as he turned left out of the Asda supermarket carpark, Cherry Tree Road, Marton, at around 2.50pm on Tuesday.
He is believed to have hit the tree after being thrown from his bike across a grass verge. The van driver escaped unharmed but received treatment for shock.
Police closed the busy road for several hours.
