It was a late-night crash that claimed the life of a motorcyclist.

Now Coquitlam Mounties are looking for additional witnesses to the Thursday, Aug. 2 incident.

Police are specifically looking for two vehicles near the crash scene at the time - one a white pickup truck and the second possibly a car.

The collision happened just before 11 p.m. when a blue Yamaha motorcycle heading northbound on North Road collided with a Toyota, which was making a left turn onto Foster Avenue.

The rider was transported to hospital but later died.

The driver of the other vehicle stayed at the scene and was co-operating with the investigators.

However, police at the time said it was unclear if alcohol, drugs, speed or other factors contributed to the crash.

Investigators noted just before the collision, the blue Toyota Matrix in question followed the car making a left turn from North Road to Foster Avenue. Meanwhile, the white pickup truck was heading northbound on North Road near the intersection.

Coquitlam RCMP are asking anyone who might know the drivers of the vehicles to call the detachment at 6049451550 and quote file number 2012-21199.
