Police are continuing to appeal for information on a Boston collision in which a motorbike rider died in 2024.

Officers say new information has come to light as part of their investigations.

74-year-old David Smith of Horbling Lane, Stickney, is currently charged with causing death by dangerous driving.

He's due in court in July for his trial.

A Lincolnshire Police spokesperson said "New information has come to light as part of a lengthy investigation into the incident, which took place between Pilley’s Lane and Rawsons Lane, Horncastle Road on 29 April at 2.50pm.

"A 62-year-old motorbike rider tragically lost his life in the collision and investigators have been pursuing a number of lines of enquiry to get answers for his family ever since.

"As part of these enquiries a new vehicle has been drawn to their attention – a yellow transit van that a newly found witness says was in the area just before the incident took place."

Detectives are appealing to anyone who saw the van this day, or the driver of the van, to come forward.

Reports can be made by emailing [email protected] quoting incident number 243 of 29/04/24.
