Very shortly after lights and sirens were activated, the rider has lost control of the motorcycle and crashed.
They have since sadly died at the scene.
An investigation into the circumstances of the crash is now underway.
Diversions will remain in place this afternoon while the Serious Crash Unit make enquiries.
As standard procedure in these circumstances, the Independent Police Conduct Authority has been notified of the incident.
