Rider down - Crimea Street Noranda

[goose_b]

Neighbour has told me he has seen rider down on Crimea Street, laying on the road with blood everywhere. He's pretty shaken up. Heard sirens about 45 minutes ago so guessing its connected. Hope it turns out to be better than it looked.

Fark not too far from me and I heard sirens too...fingers crossed it looked worse than it was.

Saw cops redirecting traffic on the way home. Hoping for the best.

A motorcyclist has died and a second rider is fighting for life after two separate crashes in Perth on Friday afternoon.
The deceased male had been riding in Noranda around 5.30pm when he was knocked from his bike by a car at the Driscoll Way and Crimea Street intersection.
Witnesses performed CPR at the scene before the man was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital, where he later died.
Major Crash detectives are now investigating the accident.
In the second crash, a male rider was caught in a collision that involved two cars in Willetton.
The crash happened at the Leach Highway and High Road intersection around 5.50pm.
The man was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital under a priority and remains in a critical condition.

Drove past the second one at about 20 to nine bike sandwiched between a dual cab ute and a sedan, from the front wheel an older naked bike. Quit a few cars had rear ended each other as well, didn't look good.

Yeah, saw that in the other thread. Hopefully that rider pulls through, and that the Noranda riders family and friends get the support they need.

Yeah that's a shit of a road along there, people pull out of side roads all the time without looking RIP

GodSpeed young Bro.

Condolences (and knowing nod) to those that assisted roadside in the aftermath. Talk it over with someone when you're ready.

Not the outcome we wish for. RIP rider, my thoughts are with the family and friends of both riders.

[Mad Mel]

Thoughts to his family, RIP Rider,
Just riden down Crimea St northbound , Camera between Morley an Benera rd's.
Understandably. A few cops cars patrolling.

Just been along Crimea, looks like tv crew setting up. Skid mark in right lane heading north, about 3-4 metres long so my guess is rider going real slow or car cut across into/out of Westlake Rd and bike had nowhere to go. I drive along Crimea every day and its ridiculous how many cars dont actually stop when coming out of those side roads.

[Crobbo]

They had a speed camera setup there yesterday when I went past at 5:10. Wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Can sort of understand the cars patrolling but the point of the camera other than revenue raising is what? So they can send a speeding fine to a driver or MC rider weeks down the track

+1 I was actually heading south on McGilvray Thursday evening and had a dickhead in a ute nearly pull out in front of me as he went to come out of the shopping centre at Benara Rd, he was going that fast out of the driveway he locked it up and stopped 1/2 way into the LH lane northbound, just lucky there wasn't a car or even worse a MC heading that way

If they were doing their usual trick of obstructing vision of the road then possibly

Enforcement maybe? They never put those things on dangerous roads....

I thought cameras are always hidden, you know, so they raise more revenue?

[BusaSteve]

This is just shocking, three? bikes in accidents that were not their fault...one a hit and run.

The cops will argue that if you don't know where they are hidden, you have to go slow everywhere, but is this strategy working?

They obviously haven't heard the adage "out of sight, out of mind"

Depends on your definition of hidden Many are put in the back of 4WD's etc and then they park on verges to catch the unwary Obviously if you know what to look out for they aren't all that hard to spot but as you know a lot of cagers drive around in a dream world not paying attention to anything else around them X-Trails are a common one they use but on BusaSteve's ride a week or so ago there was one in a white Mitsubishi Triton ute with a canopy sitting on a bend on Mounts Bay Rd catching people The problem is they often park on verges near intersections and obstruct the view of the road from the side street
