Man killed in Marlborough crash named

Police have named a motorcyclist killed in Marlborough yesterday.

Wellington man Kenneth Gordon Lilley, 54, died when he lost control and crossed the centreline on State Highway 6 at Okaramio, 17km south of Havelock, about 5.15pm

He was travelling behind another vehicle which slowed down, forcing him to brake heavily to avoid hitting it, Tasman police spokeswoman Barbara Dunn said

"As a result he has veered right and into the path of an oncoming vehicle," she said.

The death has been referred to the coroner.
