Police have issued an appeal to trace a potential witness to a fatal crash in Lincolnshire.

The crash - at the crossroads junction of the A607 and B1202 at Boothby Graffoe, near Lincoln, happened at about 16:50 BST on 11 October, and involved a silver Peugeot van and a motorcycle.

Lincolnshire Police said the rider of the motorcycle died from his injuries.

Officers said they wanted to trace the driver of a medium-sized hatchback car - possibly grey, silver or white, who may have been in the area at the time.

A police spokesperson said: "Investigators have been working on the case in the months since in a bid to piece together exactly what happened.

"New testimony from a witness at the scene has now come to light and we are appealing to members of the public for help."

A 31-year-old man who was arrested at the time on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drink was released on bail while investigations continued.
