POLICE have named the motorcyclist who died in a crash on Blacknest Road, near Binsted, on the evening of Sunday, May 22.

Paul Hoffman, 52, from Ash, died at the scene of the crash, which occurred opposite The Jolly Farmer pub at around 8.50pm.

Mr Hoffman was thought to have braked heavily as he travelled south-east along the road, and parted company with his bike - a black Harley Davidson Softail.

It is believed a second motorcyclist, on a similar bike, was using that stretch of road at the same time.

A 50-year-old Camberley man has since been arrested in connection with the collision and has been released on bail while investigations continue until September 6.

Police would like to speak to anyone who saw the crash, or two motorbikes near the area where the crash happened, between around 8.40pm and 8.50pm that Sunday.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Roads Policing Unit at Havant Police Station on 101 quoting Operation Date.
