A 52-year-old man has been released on police bail in connection with a fatal hit and run on the A1 this week.
As previously reported, a car collided with a 17-year-old Leicestershire man riding a scooter on the northbound carriageway of the A1 at Barrowby, near Grantham.
The rider was knocked from his scooter and the vehicle involved failed to stop at the scene of the crash at around 10pm on Tuesday, September 13.
Officers arrested a man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving on Wednesday, September 14.
Now, Lincolnshire Police have confirmed that the vehicles involved were a Mercedes Benz car, an orange moped and a DAF articulated lorry.
Head of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at Lincolnshire Police, Inspector Simon Heads, added: “If anyone saw the collision last night on the A1 or has any information that will help us investigate what has happened which has led to the very sad death of a 17-year-old, then please give me a call.”
A spokesperson for EMAS said: “Several clinicians were sent to the scene and were supported by a responder from LIVES and a doctor from East Midlands Immediate Care Scheme, as well as the police. Sadly the patient did not survive.”
Anyone with information should call 101 number quoting incident 515 of September 13.
Alternatively the charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
