Police investigating the death of a motorcyclist are trying to trace the occupants of a van at the scene.

Officers say a Ford Transit may have been there around the time Martin Bloomfield was fatally injured on his Yamaha R6 on the A2070 at Ashford.

South Kent Police spokesman Rosy Alexander said: "The Serious Crash Investigating Unit would like to speak to anyone who has information, which will help the investigation and in particular the occupants of a Ford Transit van.

#"It is believed they may have driven through the scene of the collision prior to police arrival and may have witnessed part of the collision."

Mr Broomfield, 28, died after the accident on Bad Munstereifel Road, at the approach of the slip road for Hamstreet, which happened at around 5.40pm on Sunday, June 21.

It is believed that his motorcycle and a Peugeot 106 were in collision, causing him to come off his bike.

The car driver was unhurt but Mr Broomfield, a bank worker from Kingsnorth Road, Ashford, died from multiple injuries at William Harvey Hospital.
