“Officers attended, alongside colleagues from other emergency services who provided first aid to the man, who was 70-year-old Richard Maze. However, he sadly died at the scene from his injuries.

“Richard was the rider of a motorcycle that was in collision with a dark-coloured car that failed to stop.”

A PSNI spokesperson confirmed that a man has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving.

They said: “A 70-year-old man has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, failing to remain where accident occurred causing injury, failing to report an accident whereby injury was caused and failing to stop where accident occurred causing injury.
