A 21-year-old man has died after a collision involving two motorbikes in Reading.
The man, from Reading, was involved in the crash on Vastern Road at about 02:15 BST on Saturday, 26 September.
Police said they believe one of the motorbikes was carrying a rider and a passenger.
The 21-year-old was taken to hospital following the collision but died on Sunday. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
Two men have been arrested in connection with the investigation and have since been released on bail.
A 21-year-old man from Reading was arrested on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle while above the alcohol limit, driving while disqualified, causing serious injury by dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle taking and theft of a motor vehicle.
A 20-year-old man from Oxford was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle taking and theft of a motor vehicle, failing to stop and failing to report an accident.
