Senior Sergeant Pete van de Wetering of the Hamilton District Command Centre said that tragically a motorcycle has
collided with a truck at this intersection resulting in fatal injuries to the 45 year old rider. He was in a group of
three men who were riding their motorcycles in the area when the crash happened. Senior Sergeant van de Wetering says
that it is too early into the investigation for Police to comment further on the cause of the crash or events leading up
