A 19-year-old man has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a 57-year-old motorcyclist was killed on the A142 at Witcham Toll.

Luke Davidson of New Road, Mepal, has been charged with causing death by careless driving, causing death by driving whilst uninsured and causing death by driving whilst disqualified.

The charges follow the crash at about 5.15pm on Saturday (20 May), outside the Esso MFG fuel station.

It involved a black Chrysler 300c and a red Suzuki GSX1400 motorcycle ridden by a 57-year-old man, from the Wisbech area, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Davidson appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court this morning (22 May).

Detective Sergeant Craig Wheeler, from the Serious Collision Unit, said: “Our investigation is on-going, but I am still keen to hear from anyone who may have seen the collision or captured either the Chrysler or the motorbike before it on dashcam.

“Also, if you were at the fuel station at the time of the collision and haven’t yet spoken to officers, I would urge you to get in contact with us.”

Anyone with information should report online or use the web chat service and quote incident 416 of 20 May. Those without internet access should call 101.
