A MOTORCYCLIST has died after a crash late on Sunday night.

Wiltshire Police is appealing for any drivers who saw the smash at 10pm on Sunday, September 2.

The force said a 38-year-old Swindon man was riding a green Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle at Transfer Bridges Roundabout, near the County Ground.

A spokeswoman added: "He was travelling in the direction of Cirencester Way but appears to have lost control and collided with kerb and then a traffic light.

The road was closed by crash investigators for around six hours.
