Detectives investigating the death of a motorcyclist in Lewisham are hoping to trace three vehicle owners who may have witnessed the fatal crash.

Police probing the death of Conrad Oscar Lewis-Pratt in Loampit Vale today released CCTV pictures of a dark blue Volkswagen Passat, a silver Toyota Prius and a moped that were at the scene of the accident.

Mr Lewis-Pratt, 22, from Brockley, died from multiple injuries after veering off the road and hitting a lamppost close to Jerrard Street on September 12 last year.

His family were left "devastated" by his death, police said today, as they re-issued an appeal for witnesses to speak to them.

Detective Sergeant Richard Budd, who is leading the investigation, said: "This was a tragic incident, where a young man has lost his life on the road and his family have been left devastated by it.

"Despite extensive enquiries, we still don't know how or why this happened, but we think that the drivers of the two cars and the moped rider may have seen something that could help us to piece together the events of that morning."

He added: "I must also stress that, at this stage, we are purely looking to speak to these drivers as potential witnesses, so I would urge anyone with information to contact us."

Anyone with information can contact the Met's Serious Collision Investigation Unit at Catford on 0208 285 1574 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
