Yet another sad loss only a few hundred yards from my place today. It's not for me to lay any blame but it looks pretty much like another bike/car T-bone. I take that side road every working day and actually watched a car pull out from it onto the main drag right in front of a queue of cars only 6 weeks ago. I reported it of course. 

Channel 9 reported the bike as a Harley. The quote from the West Australian says:

A man has died and his wife is in stable condition after a motorcycle collided with a car on South Street in White Gum Valley about 11.10am today.

A police spokesman said the motorcycle hit the side of the car at the intersection with Edmund Street.

He said the motorcyclist, a 44-year-old from Beckenham, died at the scene.

His wife, 44, who was a passenger on the motorcycle, sustained fractures and internal injuries and was taken to Fremantle hospital where she is in a stable condition.

The occupants of the car were not injured.

RIP Brother...always sad news.

condolences to that poor women who just lost her bloke for no good reason. RIP bro.

condolences

What a shit thing to happen, condolences to all concerned.

RIP to a fellow Rider & may his wife make a speedy recovery , i wish her well considering her man is gone  traggic .

Very sad indeed...I also, am a slower type of rider, particularly in Sydney traffic. I trust NO car driver, especially women in 4WDs, P platers, asians, arabs, old blokes in bowler hats...basically everyone on the road!! I ride with three headlights on, always one gear lower, so I am making as much noise as possible..
Stay safe out there!!

RIP, it's always worse to hear news like this when you know a wife is left without a husband and they probably have kids that now have no father. Sad news indeed. I wasn't there when it happened but if they T-boned the car it's interesting that the report said a bike hit the the side of the car rather than a car turned in front of the motorcyclist. Typical though.

 

what a bloody tradgety.... another life wasted through ignorance ....

Thoughts and prayers go out to all concerned. Very sad indeed, especially if they have children.

RIP mate

RIP.... condolences

RIP.......

enforcer,

It's actually not really much of an intersection. South St is a fairly busy arterial road with a 60 limit and there's dozens of residential side streets that join it at right angles from both sides. I can't imagine how or why a car driver would not see a bike approaching............but.........that's the usual problem isn't it...........
