I have an update from someone whos collegue was driving home on there at the time of the incident and saw the entire thing.
Apparently the biker was racing with another one and clocking well over 90mph, way to fast and the van driver was in the centre waiting to cross when they came hurtling down the road.
The biker apparently let go of the bars moments before he slammed into the van.... my guess is take on the full body impact maybe thinking it would cause less damage and not go through the van itself like a bullet using his head.
He is in a critical condition in GWH.
The other biker fled the scene and noone has his details.
