A motor cycle rider has been seriously injured following a crash with a car in the state's Illawarra region.
About 7.55pm yesterday (Sunday 31 August 2025), emergency services responded to reports of a crash between a motor cycle and a blue Honda Civic at the intersection of Princes Highway and Kaylaur Crescent, Albion Park.
Officers from Lake Illawarra Police District established a crime scene that was examined by specialist police.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the 45-year-old male rider at the scene before he was airlifted to Liverpool Hospital in a serious condition.
The driver – a 22-year-old man - was uninjured but allegedly returned a positive road side breath test.
