Police would like to trace a van driver who pulled out of a layby at a similar time to a fatal collision in Sandwich.
The crash involving a blue motorcycle and a white Ford Transit van happened on the Thanet-bound carriageway of the A256 Sandwich Road, at 11.40am yesterday.
The motorcyclist, a man in his 40s, was confirmed dead at the scene and two other men received treatment at a local hospital.
Officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are now appealing for witnesses but would particularly like to speak to a van driver who is reported to have left a layby and joined the Sandwich-bound carriageway at a similar time to the collision.
A spokesman said: "It is believed the driver will have important information which could assist with inquiries."
The road remained closed while officers from the Kent Police crash investigation unit carried out their work. It reopened at about 7pm.
Witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage, of either the collision or the vehicles just before the incident, should call the SCIU appeal line on 01622 798538 or email sciu.td@kent.pnn.police.uk quoting HW/LB/63/20.
