Default Young biker killed near Northwich

Hopefully not somebody off here? It took place on the A556 (saw another article), not sure exactly where though.

Oh dear, quite a few IT bods seem to be riders it seems.
Always sad to hear of things like this, especially locally.

Yeah poor lad. There was another young guy killed on the A556 last year - raced with my neighbour's son in Superstock IIRC.

While I'd be the last person to go on about 'bad roads' and we don't have a clue what happened here, there are particular dangers with these sort of stretches of dual carriageway to be aware of. Eg motorway speeds but with traffic turning directly onto them, vehciles slowing almost to a halt in the outside lane to turn right, no central reservation, etc.

Sometimes come home from work along there but always especially wary.

Is so tragic to lose anyone especially at such a young age.... heartfelt condolences to his fiancee Zoe, his family and friends. RIP Sean x

It was on the dual carrageway bit wasn't it? RIP, there have been a lot of deaths in that area recently.
