Motorcyclists killed in Peak District crash

Two men died at the scene on the A57 Snake Pass

Two motorcyclists died in a crash in the Peak District.

Police said it happened on the A57 Snake Pass, a popular scenic route near Glossop, Derbyshire, on Sunday at about 13:10 BST.

Both riders, a man in his 50s and a man in his 60s, suffered serious injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene, said officers.

Derbyshire Police is appealing for dash cam footage of the collision, and the moments leading up to it.

The crash involved two red Ducati motorbikes and happened on the stretch of the road through Holden Clough.

A police spokesperson said: "Their families are aware and our thoughts are with them."

A long stretch of the road - often used as a route between Manchester and Sheffield - was closed to traffic on Sunday.
