TWO teenagers have died after a fatal late-night motorbike crash in Wrexham.

The male driver and his pillion passenger were both killed in the horror accident with cops asking the public for any further information.

The deadly single vehicle collision took place just before 11pm on Friday night.

Police and ambulance crews rushed to the scene on Wrexham Road, New Broughton and saw a smashed up yellow Honda 125cc motorcycle.

Both men onboard, aged 18 and 19 years old, were taken to a nearby hospital but were pronounced dead shortly after.

The road between Coed Efa lane and Dale Road was closed for some time to allow investigations to be carried out at the scene but has since reopened this morning.

The coroner, and families of both the motorcyclist and the pillion have been informed and are currently being supported by specialist officers.

Sergeant Liam Morris of the Serious collision Investigation Unit is urging anybody who may have been in the area around the time of the collision to contact officers.

He said: “Our profound sympathies are with all affected by this tragic incident.

“We would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the collision and are yet to speak to us, or anybody who may have been travelling in the area at around the time of the collision, or just prior, who has dashcam footage of a yellow motorcycle with two males onboard to contact us.

“We’d also like to thank those who stopped to help at the scene, and to motorists for their patience whilst the road was closed to allow our Forensic Collision Investigators to carry out their initial enquiries.”;

Anybody with information that could assist with the ongoing investigation is urged to contact officers via the website or by calling 101, quoting reference number 25000236736.
