The incident happened just after 2.15pm on Hall Lane.

Leicestershire Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a motorcycle rider died after a collision in Whitwick.

The incident happened just after 2.15pm on Saturday 9th October in Hall Lane and involved a white, red and black Aprilia 125cc motorbike and a red Vauxhall Astra van.

The motorcycle rider, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries and sadly died later that day. 

The driver of the van wasn’t injured.

The rider was travelling towards George Street and the van was travelling in the opposite direction when the vehicles collided.

Officers would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the collision or saw either vehicle beforehand.

They also urge anyone who has video recording equipment installed in their vehicles to check the footage and get in touch if they captured anything. 

Police believe that a silver estate type vehicle was driving along Hall Lane just minutes before the collision and the occupants of that vehicle may have seen what happened. 

If you recall seeing anything or if this was you please contact the police quoting incident number 367 of 9 October.
