One person is dead following a crash on Springs Road and Marshs Road, in Halswell.

Police say the crash involved a motorbike and a car.

Inspector Paul Fremaux, of southern police communications, said the car had left the scene after the accident and the police wanted to track it down and interview the driver.

There were few other details about the accident which happened around 7.15am.

"A vehicle left the scene and we are interested in locating that and identifying and interviewing the driver,'' said Fremaux.

Any witnesses to the accident should contact police on 03 363 7400.

The AA said Springs Road was closed and diversions were in place.

Fucken Hell. It's just to easy to 'do a runner' isn't it? What has happened to common decency and personal responsibility! I myself have been very lucky over the past few months where I have been hit by a car at least twice and they have just left the scene without a thought.
I hope they catch the fucktard that did this!Drunk driving homo did that to my wife last night after writing off the car she was sitting at the lights in.

He must've felt guilty though, he walked a couple of kms back to the crash site, and a witness fingered him... he's doing the runner (again ffs!) and the cop takes up chase in the car, takes him about a minute to catch him. Blew 585 on the evidential... careless driving, over the limit, failing to stop and ascertain injury... going dooooown. What a knob though, returning to the scene of the crime... the whole story is even funnier, but I'm too lazy to relate it.

Problem is he will only get;
12 months loss of licence,
20hrs community service,
$300 fine, of which
he will continue to drive, not pay fine then get it written off due to too many fines and never turn up for comm service.

Hope your wife is ok though.

Well no one here knows the facts yet, we don't even know if the two vehicles collided or anything. So lets not get to hot under the collar until at least same basic facts are out. I will say however, if the driver did knowingly leave the scene then I hope they get tracked down and face the consequences.

'The car' implies it was THE car involved in the (fatal) accident. Given that THE CAR drove off the fatality is that of the motorcyclist

Some people really can't help showing off their stupidity, can they? Do you realise that two vehicles can be involved in an 'accident' without the two vehicles colliding? Now it's quite possible that the driver of the other vehicle 'didn't even see the motorcycle when he forced it off the road into a ditch'. For all we know, this could be the scenario, or the driver may have been hellbent on killing a motorcyclist to start his day off, or anywhere in the spectrum in between, the point is we don't know yet.

Fuck I'm still shaking my head at the stupidity of your post.

No, you've failed your test as a motorcyclist. You didn't vow to hunt down the driver personally and make sure him and his entire family are wiped out. The fact you even mentioned "wait for the facts" and didn't jump to conclusions with the small amount of information provided shows you're not "for the cause" for shame!

Oh there's probably some. Regardless of mode of two-wheeled transportation, there is still a life lost that could've been avoided. There's a lesson to be learnt when riding anything in conditions like we're experiencing down here at the moment, be aware of your environment at all times and make sure you've been seen by other road users. Not saying the cyclist did anything wrong, we don't have the full story. But with driving torrential rain like this it's even more critical to have your mind 100% on the job.

News just in:

"New Zealand motorcyclists unite in an effort to further their cause and relay all the facts regarding any topic as accurately as possible. They cast aside their egos, ceased jumping to conclusions, embraced the police and attended advanced riding classes en masse."

Oh. My. God.

KB standard? Do I now represent KB? Or because I'm a motorcyclist (not a biker because I know how you feel about that term) does KB represent me? No it doesn't, and nor do I.

No actually I won't, because along with being able to think by myself, I also have the ability to change my opinion on matters.

Good collection of posts thanks, albeit from two years ago. In fact I'd totally gotten over them, obviously some haven't. However, you'll notice I was attacking the method of delivery, not the fucking message. There is a lot of difference in what I posted above then you posting a video of an accident and adding 'This one's real funny!'.

Here's the 3rd link you provided:

I've got nothing against your message, nothing at all. What I do take issue with is the method of delivery. That's my opinion, I'm entitled to it. If I think the way you are delivering it is anti-productive, then I will call it out. I've mainly stayed out of these debates, but what irked me the other day was katmans post regarding the accident he happened across, and his blatant assumptions without consideration for any other factors. You then backed him up, in your usual condescending tone. Now someone posts up a video of an idiot stunting on a public road wearing little if no safety gear, and you post up a video of a fatal accident, and then add 'This one's real funny!'.

I live in Prebbleton, and driving home tonight along Springs road (in the car) I passed a cyclist and thought he must be a crazy bastard. I could barely see him in the rain, and there's very little room on the side of the road, would have been all too easy to knock him over if you weren't paying attention, or got distracted for a moment.
So my thoughts are with the family, but anyone choosing to cycle on that road, in this weather, is not doing themselves any favors.
