Direct Appeal To Two Drivers After Fatal Crash

Police are appealing for two motorists to contact them after a motorcyclist died in a crash near Lutterworth on Tuesday morning.

Officers say the drivers of a metallic red Mercedes A-Class hatchback and a dark-coloured Volkswagen Tiguan could be key witnesses to the collision, which happened on Peatling Road near Peatling Parva, just before 9am.

The motorcyclist, a man in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene after his black Royal Enfield bike was involved in collision with a red Volvo XC40 car.

Detective Sergeant Jon Putnam, from Leicestershire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our investigation is continuing and from what we know so far, I believe the occupants of both these cars may have seen what happened – but they have not yet spoken to police.

“I’m appealing for those people to get in touch as I believe they are key witnesses who could assist us with further enquiries. If you were in one of those vehicles, then please contact us.”

Anyone with information about the collision should call police on 101, quoting reference 22*324244. Alternatively, report information online.
