Fatal collision in Wistow – further appeal for information

Detectives investigating a fatal collision on Thursday (26 September) are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident, but has not yet come forward, to do so.

Police were called to the crossroads of Kilby Road, Kibworth Road and Leicester Road in Wistow following a report of a collision involving a motorcycle and a car – a blue Mini One - just before midday. The driver made off from the scene on foot.

The motorcyclist was taken to the University Hospital Coventry, where he subsequently died.

Officers investigating the collision are currently pursuing a number of lines of enquiry.

Detective Sergeant Gary Haines, from Leicestershire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said:

“We would still like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the collision. I am appealing to motorists who were travelling along Leicester Road, either to or from Newton Harcourt, just before midday on Thursday. If you have a dashcam installed in your vehicle, then please get in touch.

“From enquiries carried out to date, we believe a woman stopped at the scene but has not yet spoken to police. I am also particularly keen to speak to her and am appealing for her to get in touch.

“I would also like to speak to anyone else who has information about the collision but has not come forward. Any details you have, no matter how insignificant you think they may be, could help our investigation.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact DS Haines on 101, quoting incident 261 of 26 September.
