A man has been charged after a motorcyclist died on the A142 in Cambridgeshire.

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.

Davidson, 19, appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court this morning.

The charges come after a collision between a black Chrysler 300c and a red Suzuki GSX1400 motorcycle outside the Esso MFG fuel station at Witcham Toll at around 5.15pm on Saturday, 20th May.

The motorcycle rider, a 57-year-old man from the Wisbech area, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detective Sergeant Craig Wheeler, from the Serious Collision Investigation 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 contact Cambridgeshire Police by reporting online or using the web chat service, quoting incident 416 of 20th May.

Those without internet access should call 101.
