Officers were called to reports of a collision involving a motorcycle on the westbound elevated section of the A12 at the Lea Interchange, in Hackney, on Saturday.

“We are working at pace to identify what happened on the A12 yesterday evening, and would encourage anyone who witnesses the incident, or who was in the surrounding area, to please come forward and speak to us.

“I’m particularly interested in any dashcam footage from drivers who were in the area between 18:00hrs and 18:30hrsyesterday.

“Any piece of information could be vital in helping us understand exactly what happened.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting CAD 5852/10MAY
