Police Probe Serious Motorbike Crash in Herdsmans Cove

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.
