Detective Sergeant Ben Heath, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This incident occurred at a busy time of day in clear conditions, and sadly has resulted in a young man losing his life. Our specially trained officers are supporting his family.

“I would appeal for anyone who was in or near the Ridgmont area, perhaps travelling to work at this time, who saw a black Mercedes van or a silver Triumph Daytona motorcycle prior to the collision to please get in touch.”
