A MAN has died and his stepson is in hospital following a motorcycle accident on the A66.
Robert William Williams was travelling with his step-son on a Suzuki bike along the westbound carriageway near to the Bowesfield Bend, Stockton.
It is thought the 38-year-old, from Thorntree Road, Thornaby, collided with a crash barrier, and no other vehicle was involved.
Mr Williams was pronounced dead at the scene and his stepson was taken to the University Hospital of North Tees, Stockton, with a fractured left arm.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the accident, which happened at about 8.40pm on Wednesday. The A66 westbound was closed for about two hours.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Cleveland Police on (01642) 301558.
