by Admin

Police have launched an appeal for witnesses after a man was killed in a collision in Whiston yesterday evening  (Thursday 17 August)

At 7.33pm, emergency services were called to East Bawtry Road, between Worrygoose roundabout and the traffic lights in Whiston, following reports a single motorcycle – a green Kawasaki ZR 900 – had been involved in a collision with the central reservation.

It is thought that the rider, a man in his 60s, came off the motorcycle. He was taken to hospital where, sadly, he was pronounced dead. The man’s family has been informed. 

Officers do not believe any other vehicles were involved in the collision but are keen to hear from any motorists who were travelling along East Bawtry Road yesterday who may have witnessed the collision, or the Kawasaki prior to the collision. 

Witnesses, or motorists with dash cam footage, are asked to contact police via live chat or by calling 101, quoting incident number 914 of 17 August 2023.
