“From initial enquiries, we established that there was a second motorcyclist on the A447 who may have witnessed the collision.

“I would still like to speak to that person but as yet, they have not come forward. Today, we have released an image of the rider and their motorcycle in the hope that either they will recognise themselves – or someone will recognise them.

“I would still like to speak to anyone who saw either of the vehicles involved prior to the collision, or who saw the collision occur, and has not yet spoken to police.”
