A 39-year-old man was killed in a motorbike crash near Chessington World of Adventures yesterday.

The man, from Guildford, died after an incident at about 11.10am on the A243 directly outside the theme park.

The road was closed off from outside Chessington Community College up to the exit of the theme park.

Coaches of schoolchildren were able to leave the car park, apparently unaware of the accident, either heading out to the M25 or back towards Chessington.

Anyone who witnessed the incident should contact the Metropolitan Police's road death investigation unit on 020 8941 9011 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
