Witness appeal after fatal collision on A272

Officers investigating a fatal collision on the A272 are appealing for witnesses.

We were called at 7.26am this morning, 24 May, to a collision between a blue Suzuki motorcycle and a heavy goods vehicle at Langrish.

The rider of the motorcycle, a 25-year-old man from Waterlooville, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

We would ask that anyone with information to make contact. We would be particularly keen to hear from anyone with dash-cam footage that may assist our investigation.

If you witnessed the collision, or saw the vehicles just prior to the incident, please call us on 101 with reference 44230204692. Alternatively, you can submit information online via https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/

Due to nature of enquiries needing to be completed, we are expecting the A272 will remain closed between Langrish and Bordean Lane for a number of hours.

We would like to thank you for your patience as we complete these enquiries.
