Tragic M25 Motorbike Death: Police Hunt Hit-and-Run Lorry Driver
Collision detectives are scrambling for witnesses after a motorcyclist died in a horror crash on the M25. The victim, a man in his 40s, was killed in a smash involving a blue Suzuki motorbike, a silver Toyota Corolla, and a lorry – which fled the scene.
Fatal Crash on M25 Between Junction 5 and 6
The collision happened just before 12:30pm on Thursday, 26 September 2024, on the clockwise M25 between junction 5 (A21/M26) and Clacket Lane Services before junction 6. Emergency crews rushed to the scene but could not save the rider.
Police have released images of a lorry they suspect was involved. It has a white cab and a blue curtain-sided trailer, with yellow lettering. Officers believe the lorry driver may not have realised the gravity of the incident before driving off.
