A 52-year-old man has admitted causing the death of a Shropshire motor cyclist in a collision near Ludlow last year.

Motor bike rider Rikky Bullock admitted a charge of causing death by dangerous driving when he appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court on Friday.

The court heard that 53-year-old Stephen Shotton, of Cleobury Mortimer, died in the collision between the two motor cycles which happened on the A4117 between Ludlow and Cleehill on June 26 last year.

Judge Robin Onions adjourned sentence for reports until next month and imposed an interim driving ban on the defendant.

Bullock, of Marley Road, Kingswinford, was granted bail.
