An elderly expat Biker has been killed in a horror head-on crash in the Costa del Sol.

Brit Ray Wyer, 70, was allegedly rammed by a van and forced to swerve his motorbike onto the wrong side of the road.

It is claimed Mr Wyer and the van driver had an argument on the roadside before the crash, reports Manilva WS. Ray was riding his motorbike in San Pedro de Alcantara, Marbella, on Friday, when a van allegedly veered into the side of him.

The expat then swerved onto the wrong side of the road and collided head-on with a car. Spanish cops later arrested the van driver Ray allegedly rowed with.

Ray moved from the UK to Spain more than a decade ago. Friends and family are set to gather today for his funeral and in a tribute shared online, pal David Clark described his friend as "kindhearted".

"The best times was just having a coffee with him, he was a very down-to-earth chap and a pleasure to be around," said Mr Clark. "He was fun, playful, and very mischievous, a kindhearted individual who will be missed by all."

Another friend, Deane Phillips, added: "I was proud to call him my friend and we will miss him, but he's now riding the roads of heaven giving them hell no doubt! RIP Ray." He wrote on Facebook: "Ray was a lovely man, and it was a pleasure to have spent some time with him. I have fond memories of days and evenings out on the bikes together." Police are continuing to investigate the crash.
