The investigation is focused on an area surrounding a grey Citroen hatchback and a white or light grey Yamaha R125.

Cheshire Police officers were briefly inspecting the vehicles and the nearby road surface, including measuring distance with tape.

Rumours are circulating the bike was being ridden by a young rider with a pillion passenger.

The ECHO also received a report that an air ambulance had landed in the area.

While at the scene, a man believed to be the driver of the car said “no comment” while limping past with the aid of a walking stick and a woman.
