A MOTORIST has been arrested after a horrific late night crash in which one motorcyclist died and another was seriously injured.

The biker, a 39-year-old thought to be from the Cleveland area, was the tenth rider to be killed on North Yorkshire's road this year.

The tragedy happened at about 10pm on Saturday on the A167 Northallerton to Darlington road near Lovesome Hill.

A silver Mercedes travelling south was in collision with two motorcycles, both Hondas.
