Police investigating a fatal crash that occurred between a motorcyclist and a truck on Friday night on Stancombe Road, Flat Bush, are calling for a witness to come forward.
The 17 year old motorcyclist was killed in the collision and witness statements have established that there was a car travelling behind the motorcyclist moments before the crash.
¡°It is possible that this motorist turned left into Topland Drive and didn¡¯t travel through the crash site, which occurred at the intersection of Topland and Stancombe,¡± says Serious Crash Analyst Constable Hollie Given of the Counties Manukau Police Serious Crash Unit.? ¡°We have no description of this car but believe the driver would have witnessed the crash or at least seen the motorbike immediately prior to the crash.¡±
The crash happened at about 7pm on Friday night 11 April.? The motorbike was travelling west towards Chapel Road with the unknown car behind it.
¡°We are hoping to speak to the person who was driving this car as they may be able to offer information that is valuable to this serious crash investigation.¡±
Anyone who believes they were in the car behind the motorcyclist should contact Constable Hollie Given on 09 262 9109.
