Operation Percale: Police name man who died in fatal collision near Petersfield

We are now in a position to name the 48-year-old year old man who died when his motorbike was in collision with a Land Rover car at Buriton near Petersfield on Saturday afternoon (October 30).

He is Gary Greaves, of Arundel, West Sussex. Mr Greaves was a married man with a grown up daughter. He worked in the construction industry.

Mr Greaves died when his motorcycle was in collision with a Land Rover on an area of private farm land at around 1.45pm on Saturday.

A 62-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

A post mortem examination on Mr Greaves will be conducted today (Monday, November 1) at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital, Winchester.
