A biker has died after crashing into a lamppost just moments after police tried to pull him over. The man was riding a Kawasaki motorbike when he was signalled to stop by officers near HM Prison Leicester in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The rider, who was in his 20s, then collided with the post and was left seriously injured. He was rushed to the Leicester Royal Infirmary where he died a short time later.
Police have confirmed they have referred the incident to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), in line with standard practice. An investigation into the crash is also ongoing, Leicestershire Live reports.
