THE motorcyclist who died in a crash on the A36 has been named.

Steven Lillywhite, 49, of Fisherton De La Mere, Warminster, was pronounced dead at the scene on Wednesday.

He was travelling south from Warminster towards Salisbury on a Suzuki motorbike, when he collided with a Toyota which was entering the A36 from the High Street, Codford junction.

The driver of the Toyota, a 61-year-old man, also died at the scene.

The family of Mr Lillywhite, who was a tyre fitter, have paid tribute to him and said: “Steven was a much loved brother and uncle who will be sadly missed.

"He had a passion for motorcycles and nothing made him happier than being on two wheels.”

An inquest into his death will be opened and adjourned.
