    Man killed in Canterbury collision
    New 8:17AM Thursday Feb 12, 2009

    A man has died after his motorcycle collided with a car on State Highway One near Waipara, in North Canterbury.

    The accident happened shortly before 10pm yesterday.

    St John Ambulance transported two people from the car to hospital. A spokesman said one person had moderate to serious injuries, while the other had minor injuries.

    There's something in the Press today. Wife mentioned it. Something about slamming into the back of a vehicle.

    Ride safely in the heavens whoever you are.

    Just got home from being away for a few days and found this, I can say the roads we shit up this way on the day in question and required a bit more attention, nasty stuff with the rain and oil/diesel on the glazed tar.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.
