    At least it says "a car and motorcycle have collided"...not just "a motorcycle has hit a car."as per the norm...

    That one on the 6pm news, a kid was driving what looked like a home made go kart and apparently drove out of a driveway straight onto the road, and got collected by someone on a Ducati 999 or 749. Rider seriously injured, kid has minor injuries, and wasn't wearing a helmet either. Happened at Kawakawa Bay, South East Auckland.

    Best wishes to the injured rider - hope they are stable and as comfortable as possible under the circumstances.

    Thoughts and best wishes go to both riders.
    Parents of the go-kart kid should be charged.
