Scooter Rider Dies Following Collision on A6003 in Preston, Rutland
Leicestershire Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal single-vehicle collision involving a scooter on the A6003 in Preston, Rutland.
The incident occurred in the early hours of yesterday morning, Sunday, March 30th, 2025, at approximately 12:35 am on Uppingham Road (A6003). A black Aprilia SR GT 1 scooter, travelling from Preston in the direction of Uppingham, was involved in the collision just outside the village.
Tragically, the rider of the scooter sustained serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives from Leicestershire Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision and are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information that could assist their enquiries to come forward.
In particular, officers are keen to speak with the occupants of two vehicles that were travelling towards Preston immediately after the collision. They also wish to make contact with a man who stopped at the scene and provided emergency first aid to the rider.
Authorities are also appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time of the collision and may have captured relevant dashcam footage.
Anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is asked to contact DC 4484 Alison Briance on 101, quoting incident number 26 of 30 March. Information can also be reported online via the Leicestershire Police website at www.leics.police.uk.
