    Thumbs up Help wanted - criminally negligent cage drivers sought!

    Last night at about 8.45pm someone in a grey 4x4 (likely a land cruiser) went through the Hunua Gorge, heading from Papakura to Hunua towing a large tandem axled trailer.
    While I can't be certain that they are responsible for the many pieces of debris left scattered on both sides of the road from the Quarry Entrance for about half a K towards Hunua I can be certain that the two occupants of said vehicle did stop on the jones road metal shoulder and hurriedly go back to their trailer.
    Seconds later my wife, a learner rider was lying hurt on the road after hitting one of about 20 pieces of car suspension parts(most likely a coil over spring) She had on coming traffic, was slowing because she had seen me stopping, saw a round thing in her path, couldn't swerve, hit it square on and was thrown horribly to the road.I heard and saw this happen to my baby.
    I want those bastards!.
    Without exception the first 10 cars who stopped to assists us, all told of hitting large metal objects strewn about the road, even the attending Police and fire guys hit shit.
    Her bike is a hell of a mess, her gear is all US cept her leather jacket that'll go again with battle scars.
    Helmet stopped her ripping her face off but broke.
    Gloves torn to shreads on the road.
    New Cordura trou ripped through.
    Seriously if anyone out there saw that combination on the Hunua road last night and can help me identify them I'd be extremely grateful. Course I know the chances are very slim, but if I dont ask? an if someone does come up withe them, the Police, Swann Innsurance (who have been fantastic today) and I want to have meaningfiul discussions with them.
    Shes down but shes not out.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Bastards!! Could have been so much worse, too. Like the poor bugger that died after hitting spilt engine oil on the Taupo road last year.
    Yet it is so easy to secure a load.
    Hope your wife is recovering well.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    That's a really suck thing to have happen to you both. I hope she gets back on the bike and she has a speedy recovery.
    Also hope these vile litterbugs get apprehended and prosecuted. Not only was it a dangerous hazard it's extremely irresponsible for any driver to been losing their load!!!

    Pore thing. What a horrible thing to happen to a learner lady rider. Thats very sad.

    Holler if you need a hand sticking one of those suspension parts up their fucken nose.

    See if you can get your hands on some of the crap they dropped. It had to have come from somewhere and be going somewhere, so I reckon it holds a clue, especially if it's not common stuff.
    Don't blame me, I voted Green.

    I hope you find the bastards respoonsible.
    I never could understand why some people give no thought or care to others.

    I hope your wife heals well and is soo back on the road. What an awful experience for you both.

    Oh no, poor Mrs Caseye! I hope that the people responsible are found soon, and, most importantly, that Mrs Caseye recovers and gets back in the saddle ASAP.
