The Cushendall Road was closed for a time on Wednesday, but it has since re-opened. 

Anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have captured it on their dashcam, is asked to call police on 101, quoting reference number 1217 of 02/06/21. 

Local councillor Cara McShane says it's another tragic loss of life on the north coast.

She said: "Too many people have lost their lives, particularly too many motorcyclists on this coast road. Our thoughts and prayers are with all involved in this tragic, tragic, accident."
