Police are investigating the events leading up to the death of a 25-year-old man who was involved in a police chase overnight. Police spokesman Ian Hasleby said the man was riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle when he failed to stop for police around 10pm last night.
A second police car could not keep up with the man as he sped away at high speed on Hamilton Road.
He eluded two police patrols before losing control of his vehicle at a roundabout and crashing at the intersection of Phoenix Road and Hamilton Road.
Police found the man on the verge and spoke to him before he collapsed from his injuries. He was taken to Fremantle Hospital where he later died. Officers from the Major Crash squad and police internal affairs are investigating the events leading up the fatal accident.
They should have let him go, they probably already had the rego, so all it was going to take was a knock on his door later on. You only run at high speed if you are getting chased(not speaking from experience). When they stop chasing you slow down and think about your options of where to go and hide. I feel sorry for the innocent people that get killed or hurt in these cases, but you dont seem to think of these thngs when you are young and dumb and think that you are immortal.
Would you be kind enough and elaborate a little on that subject ZED?
Obviously all the crime in this beautiful country of ours is the combined lie by cops and media. In fact there is no crime at all, no rapes, murders, drugs, burgs, stealings, frauds etc.
People do not die on the roads at all. Traffic offences do not happen, there are no hoons, drunk drivers do not kill innocent people - and so on and so on
ALL THIS IS A LIE. BLOODY COPS DO NOTHING BUT LIE. (In between dougnuts and coffies)
Bike, car, skateboard, bicycle, on foot......you can run all you like but you will be found dead or alive. So why run, your chances of getting away are stacked up against you even before you think that you will get away.
It's the same eveywhere, you get good cops and bad ones. You get good bikies and bad ones. You get good mechanics and bad ones. There are always bad ones in among the good ones. Cops should always be good because they are the owns who take an oath to protect, serve, and uphold the law, and some dont do that. You have to be born to be a cop, i am one who could not do their job and face drunk dickheads and domestics everyday, i would end up shooting too many people. As they say "some people are only alive because it is illegal to kill them".
Surly if your asked to pull over by the law do so for your own safety...one thing I will say pull over where it's safe even if you need to ride a few more k's at a slow pace.
