A British motorcyclist has died after slamming head-on in a van in Spain yesterday.

The 62-year-old was riding along the NA-1110 – a road that runs parallel to the A-12 motorway – when his bike collided directly with the front of a white van.

The impact was so violent it crushed the front of the vehicle, leaving debris strewn along the roadside, about 35 minutes from Pamplona, famous for the running of the bulls.
