Police issue appeal over fatal County Derry road collision

Police are keen to speak to anyone with information regarding a road traffic collision on the Castledawson Road, Magherafelt on Saturday 13th August 2022 which tragically resulted in the death of a 24-year-old man.

Sergeant Maguire said: “Shortly after 4.00pm, police on patrol came across the scene of a collision involving a scrambler-type motorcycle.  The rider, later confirmed as Ryan Speirs, was taken to hospital but sadly died as a result of his injuries.

“Enquiries are continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding the collision and police are appealing to anyone with any information, or anyone who captured dash-cam footage, to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 1299 13/08/22.”
