Pine Harbour is still accessable from the main Whitford/Maraetai Road and Maraetai is not affected by the road closure. Beachlands itself, on the other hand, is completely cut off.

RIP fellow biker & Beachlands-ite.

Oh no, not another already. Looks like the bike toll is going to be another heavy one this year.
Thoughts with the families involved.

If you can show me where it says the car driver killed the biker then I'll apologise. I've read it a couple times and I cant see it.

Yup, just before the little roundabout half way down to the beachlands shops. That'd be the straight 50km/h road on a dry day with good visibility.

It doesnt say anything like that in the OP or the link provided. It says the motorcyclist is dead, in a collision between the car and motorcycle. How do you know the bike didn't collide with the car?

If you've another source post it up. I'm prepared to be wrong, but if you're making assumptions from the same info I have then I suggest you don't.
