A motorcyclist has died following a crash involving two cars in Underwood.

Emergency services were called to Alfreton Road shortly before 20:00 BST on Sunday.

The motorcyclist, a 38-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious injuries and died a short time later, Nottinghamshire Police said.

The road was closed overnight while investigations took place but has since reopened, the force added.

Police have appealed to anyone who saw any of the vehicles involved - a Harley Davidson motorcycle, a Volvo V90 and a Bentley Brooklands.

Det Sgt Charlotte Henson said: "This is a tragic incident, and the thoughts of the investigation team are with the family of the motorcyclist.

"Specially trained officers will be deployed to support them while our investigations continue.

"The collision occurred in daylight hours, and we believe there were a number of other vehicles and pedestrians in the area who may have witnessed something which could assist us."
