The tragic accident happened on Thursday when motorcyclist Eric Bradley (61), from Methley near Leeds, collided with a black Suzuki motorbike as he was travelled along the A645 towards Snaith.
The collision occurred after the Suzuki rider, a 55-year-old man from Knottingley, lost control of his motorbike when he tried to overtake another vehicle on the road, near the Gowdall turning.
After slamming into the other machine, Mr Bradley also collided with a car travelling in the opposite direction. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The other motorcyclist suffered serious chest injuries and was taken to Pinderfields Hospital at Wakefield. The 25-year-old Snaith man driving the car, a red Renault Clio, escaped unhurt.
