The families of both teenagers have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

Sergeant Liam Morris, of the serious collision investigation unit, said: "Our profound sympathies are with all affected by this tragic incident.

"We would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the collision and are yet to speak to us, or anybody who may have been travelling in the area at around the time of the collision, or just prior, who has dashcam footage of a yellow motorcycle with two males onboard to contact us.

"We'd also like to thank those who stopped to help at the scene, and to motorists for their patience whilst the road was closed to allow our forensic collision investigators to carry out their initial inquiries."

The road between Coed Efa lane and Dale Road was closed following the crash, but has since reopened.

Anybody with information that could help with the investigation is asked to contact officers through the force website or by calling 101, quoting reference number 25000236736.
