A second male was taken to hospital, where his condition was assessed as not life-threatening. 

He has been arrested in connection with the investigation and taken to a south London police station. Enquiries continue to establish the full circumstances of the collision.

Detectives believe that the motorbike may have been in close proximity to a car around the time of the collision, but that car did not stop at the scene. Enquiries are ongoing to locate that vehicle and its occupant(s) and to establish whether it played any part in the collision.

The Main Road in Biggin Hill has been closed since midnight in both directions between Saltbox Hill and Sunningvale Avenue.
