A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said: “We are now appealing for witnesses who we have not yet spoken with to come forward to help our investigation. If you were driving or cycling in the local area at the time of the incident we would ask that you check any dashcam or Go-Pro footage which may have captured either the incident itself or the vehicle or cyclist prior to the collision.

“We would also be keen to hear from anyone else who witnessed the collision.”
