The driver of the HGV was uninjured, but a 74-year-old Dover man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

He has been re-bailed pending further investigation until January 8.

The crash happened on the A2 in Teynham, near Sittingbourne, at about 5.40am on Sunday, September 8.

Sgt Glyn Walker said: "CCTV footage shows the car slow down and stop momentarily.

"We are keen to speak to the driver who it's believed might have been following the motorcyclist in the same direction and could have witnessed the collision.

"It's important to point out that the driver is not in any trouble in relation to this, we just want to speak to him as we continue to build a picture of what happened that day."

Witnesses are asked to phone the Kent Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 01622 798538.
