Two motorcyclists who died in a crash near a Derbyshire town have been named by police.

Derbyshire Police were called to the A6 near Tom Thorn between Buxton and Dove Holes at about 10:18 BST on Sunday to reports of a crash involving two motorbikes and a car.

On Monday, the force said Laike Hudson, 23, from Taddington in Derbyshire, and Dominic Gautrey, 28, of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, were the riders who died.

Police have appealed for anyone with information or anyone who witnessed the crash to come forward.

The crash happened shortly after another collision - also near Buxton, on the A53 on Sunday - in which three men in their 50s died.
