    Bikers collide in Canterbury (12 December)

    A motorcyclist was serious injured in a collision at Waiau in north Canterbury this afternoon.

    The accident happened at 3.50pm when two motorcyclists collided on the Waiau bridge.
    A police southern communications spokesman said one of the motorcyclists was seriously injured and had been flown to hospital.

    The Waiau bridge had been closed. Emergency services were at the scene and investigators were looking in the cause of the crash.
    The bridge would be re-opened as soon as possible.

    Just a reminder that since the injuries are apparently serious (according to the news report) we won't be discussing the identity of the rider on here without his/her explicit permission (or when their identity is revealed in the media).

    Thanks for showing respect to the rider and his/her family and friends.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    Another reminder to us all to wise up and think ahead.

    Yep, spot on there with the pricvacy thing.

    When anything like this happens it is generally total curiosity from other bikers as to what actually happened.

    Hope the dudes OK.

    the wind was very strong yesterday and the bridges are very exposed so maybe that was the cause.

    I was there

    I was there and one of the two riders was my son who was hit from behind. The other guy came off and my son stayed upright and is fine physically but absolutely devastated.

    It was a shit of a thing to happen.
    Don't blame me, I voted Green.

    No, wind had nothing to do with it.
