Police were called at 23:13hrs on Wednesday, 14 June to reports of a collision between a car and two motorcycles on Great Cambridge Road, N9.
Officers and the London Ambulance Service (LAS) attended and found two motorcyclists injured. One – a 26-year-old man – was pronounced dead at the scene. His next-of-kin has been informed.
Formal identification and a post-mortem examination will be scheduled in due course.
The other motorcyclist – a 30-year-old man – was taken to an east London hospital by LAS where he remains with potential life changing injuries.
The driver of the vehicle stopped at the scene. He was not arrested and is assisting detectives with their enquires. As the driver sustained minor injures he was taken to an east London hospital for treatment.
