Two motorcyclists die in accident on the edge of Grantham
TWO motorcyclists from the Grantham area died in a crash on the A52 near Prince William of Gloucester Barracks just after 8.30pm on Sunday.
Jonathan Kiely, 43, from Corby Glen, and Richard Durham, 31, from Grantham, were pronounced dead at the scene after the red Honda CBR 600cc motorcycle they were riding was involved in a collision with a white Fiat Punto.
Two men from Surrey, who were in the Punto, were taken to Lincoln County Hospital with neck injuries. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
A 25-year-old woman, a 23-year-old woman and a four-year-old girl from London who were in a Volkswagen Polo that was also involved in the accident are believed to be unhurt.
A section of the A52 was closed for much of Monday while the road was repaired and investigations carried out.
