A motorcyclist has died following a collision in Plymouth in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Emergency services were called to Kings Road, Stonehouse around 5.30 a.m. where a minibus and a motorcycle had crashed.
The biker, a local man in his forties, died at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
The driver of the minibus was taken to hospital.
Stonehouse Bridge and Paradise Road were closed through the morning.
