Crash investigators appeal into crash which killed Jack Mander on Medway City Estate, Strood

Officers investigating the fatal crash on Medway City Estate which killed a young Strood motorcyclist have renewed their appeal for information.

Crash investigators are keen to speak to another motorcyclist who could have vital information.

Teenager Jack Mander was killed when his bike, a Yamaha 125 motorcycle, when it hit a parked Volvo lorry in Anthony’s Way, on Thursday, October 13.

Officers continue to appeal for anyone who witnessed the collision or who saw either vehicle in the moments leading up to the crash to come forward.

They would also like to hear from anyone who may have travelled along Anthony’s Way after the incident, and who noticed it had happened.

Officers have viewed CCTV footage and believe a second motorcyclist wearing a fluorescent jacket or tabard may be able to help with their inquiries.

The motorcyclist travelled along Anthony’s Way in the direction of Wainscott and away from the estate about a minute or two after the collision.

Officers think he may be able to provide important evidence and say there is no suggestion any of these potential witnesses have committed any offences.

A 44-year-old man from Wiltshire, the lorry driver, who was arrested at the scene of the collision on suspicion of causing death by careless driving remains on bail until Wednesday, February 15.

Anyone with information is urged to call the appeal line on 01622 798538 or email sciu.td@kent.pnn.police.uk.
