A motorcyclist who was killed in a collision between Bourne and Toft might have misjudged the angle of a bend in the road.
An inquest into the death of Michael Machin could not pinpoint why he lost control of his Honda VFR750 on the A6121 last summer.
The bike and Mr Machin, 59, slid into the opposite carriageway and collided with the front of a Ford Transit van being driven by Darren Lawson, from Bourne.

The hearing, held today (Tuesday, March 16) in Lincoln, heard written evidence from Mr Lawson in which he described driving through Toft towards Bourne just before lunchtime on July 16, 2020.
