Tributes have been paid to a motorcyclist who died several days after a crash involving a car and another motorbike.

Brian Evans suffered serious injuries on the A595 at Kirkby-in-Furness, Cumbria on 6 March.

He died on 11 March at Preston Royal Hospital.

His family said: "Brian was a dear husband of Anita, dearly-loved dad of Colette, much-loved "Pops" of Ebonie, and a much-loved friend to many."

Cumbria Police said it was investigating and asked for witnesses to contact the force.

The delay to the Carlisle road is due to "higher-than-average rainfall", according to a new report.

The small fire posed no risk to the public, Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service says.

Alexandre De Freitas resigned from Cumbria Police after sending videos during an arrest to his mum.

Spine Race champions Anna Troup and Rhys Beddoe share their anecdotes from the race.

"Significant debris" from a wall which fell onto the B5282 needs to be cleaned up, the council says.
