Police are investigating a motorbike crash in Herdsmans Cove last night where two people sustained serious injuries.
About 11pm, two trail bikes were travelling in opposite directions on a walkway near Zena Drive. The area is poorly lit, the bikes did not have headlights, and one of the riders was not wearing a helmet.
The bikes collided, and both riders, a 19-year-old woman and an 18-year-old man, were transported to hospital in serious but stable conditions.
"Police remind all road users, particular motorcyclists, to prioritise their safety," said Inspector Luke Horne.
"Please – if you're a rider – protect your safety and the safety of others every time you ride."
Anyone with information in relation to the crash is asked to contact Bridgewater Police on 131 444.
Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers Tasmania on 1800 333 000 or at crimestopperstas.com.au.
