A LEIGH man has died in a road crash in Parbold, near Ormskirk.

A group of eight motorcyclists were travelling along the A5209 at Parbold Hill, when one of them lost control of his bike and was in collision with an MGZT saloon going in the opposite direction driven by a 44-year-old woman from Southport.

The motorcyclist, Mark Harrison, 40, of Penleach Avenue, died from his injuries in hospital.
