A motorcyclist has died after a collision between him and a double decker bus in Nadur, Gozo on Thursday afternoon.

The Libyan man was 28 years old and lived in Zebbug, Gozo.

Police said that they were informed of a traffic collision at around 12:45 in Triq ir-Rabat in Nadur, Gozo.

Investigations by district police found that the collision was between a Kentoya motorcycle being ridden by the 28-year-old man, and a King Long double decker bus being driven by a 61-year-old from Santa Lucija.

The 28-year-old was rushed to Gozo General Hospital by ambulance, but succumbed to his injuries soon afterwards.

Duty Magistrate Bridgette Sultana is leading a magisterial inquiry while Gozo district police are carrying out their own investigations.
