We were called to reports of a collision between a motorcycle and a lorry on the A153 Horncastle Road, near the Raithby Road junction, at 6.20pm on 18 July.

We are saddened to announce that a 46-year-old man, the rider of the motorcycle, was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
