Man, 70, dies following major collision with motorbike on A46 near Witham St Hughs between Lincoln and Newark

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man has died following a serious crash.

Emergency services were called to the A46 near Witham St Hughs yesterday afternoon (April 20).

A man in his 70s from Nottingham has died following what police have described as a single vehicle collision involving a motorbike. It was one of two fatal collisions on the county’s roads on Easter Sunday — after a man died in a crash on the A16 at Holbeach.

A police spokesperson said: “We would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision who has not yet spoken to police. Please get in touch with our Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), via 101 or email SCIUinvestigators@lincs.police.uk quoting incident 293 of 20 April.”

Following scene investigations, the A46 was reopened this morning (April 21) shortly after midnight.
