NHS blood courier killed in motorbike crash

A motorcyclist who was carrying blood supplies for the NHS has died after being involved in a crash.

The man in his 70s was riding a Blood Bikes Wales Honda motorbike that collided with a white Volkswagen van on the A478 between Glandy Cross and Blaenffos in Pembrokeshire at about 18:25 BST on Wednesday.

Blood Bikes Wales volunteers help the NHS by delivering emergency blood, donor milk and medical equipment between hospitals.

Dyfed-Powys Police said the rider died at the scene and the 56-year-old driver of the van was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and he remains in custody.
