UK - A MOTORCYCLIST died after he was involved in a crash with a van in Stratton while on the way home from his shift at Honda.
Andy Cole, a grandfather, who would have been 45 tomorrow died in Kingsdown Road after his silver GSXR motorbike collided with a red Toyota Hiace van on Thursday.

One message said: "Dad, no words can say how we feel right now, but we do know we love you so much, always have always will love you."
Another, from his parents, read: "Andy, we love you and will miss you so much. Sleep well my darling. Love mum and dad."
In a statement, Honda said: "Andrew had worked for HUM for over 20 years and will be sadly missed by all his colleagues and friends at the company.
"Our thoughts at this sad time are with Andrew's family."
