Police said they were dealing with a "serious road traffic collision"

A man in his 30s has died after a crash between two cars and his motorcycle in Hertfordshire.

Emergency services were called to Redbourn Road in Hemel Hempstead at about 06:40 BST.

A 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Police have appealed for witnesses and warned motorists the road would be closed for much of the day.

Police said that no-one else was badly hurt.

Sgt Timothy Davies, from the Road Policing Unit, said: "Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends at this sad time.

"If you witnessed the collision or saw any of the vehicles travelling in the area prior to it, please report it to us.

"Diversions are currently in place at the scene, and motorists are asked to please avoid the area."

Witnesses to the crash can report information online.
