Police were called to the collision on the A688 outside Barnard Castle shortly after 6.30pm on Saturday evening (April 12).

 

The four-vehicle collision involved two motorbikes and two cars.

 

Despite the best efforts of emergency services, 37-year-old Andrew (Andy) Leaver sadly died at the scene.

 

The second rider sustained life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment where he remains.

 

Andy’s family have now asked to be left to grieve in peace. Our thoughts remain with them.
