Motorbike rider killed in collision is named

A motorbike rider killed in a crash with a tractor in Herefordshire has been named.

54-year-old Gary Houghton from Newton Saint Margarets was killed in the collision on the B4348 last Friday.

The inquest into his death was opened earlier today before being adjourned to a future date to allow for more evidence to be gathered.

Emergency services were called to the main route near Thruxton following reports a black-and-chrome Kawasaki motorbike and a green Fendt tractor had crashed towards Arkstone Court at Clehonger.

Mr Houghton was pronounced dead at the scene.
