Renewed appeal following fatal collision in Christchurch
Officers investigating a fatal road traffic collision in Christchurch are renewing their appeal for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
Dorset Police received a report at 8.50am on Friday 30 September 2022 of a collision involving a grey Suzuki Swift and a black Kawasaki motorbike in Barrack Road at the junction with Avenue Road.
Very sadly, the rider of the motorbike – a man aged in his 40s from Bournemouth – was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin has been informed.
Police Constable Max Vallance, of the traffic unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the man who sadly died and our investigation to establish the full circumstances of this collision remains ongoing.
“I am appealing to any witnesses who have not already spoken to police to please get in touch.
“From our enquiries, we understand there was a pale-coloured step-through moped that was in the vicinity and stopped at a nearby bus stop after the collision. I would be keen to speak to the rider as they may have information to assist our enquiries.
“I would also like to repeat our plea for anyone who may have captured anything of relevance on dashcam footage to please contact us.”
