Three motorcyclists die in Mittagong, Marulan and Tuena crashes

Two men and one woman have died in separate motorcycle crashes in the state’s south in a shocking weekend. Investigations are continuing.

In a horror weekend on the Hume roads, three people have lost their lives in separate motorcycle crashes in the Southern Tablelands and Highlands.

On Sunday, a woman died in Mittagong after her motorcycle and a SUV collided.

Emergency services were called to Old South Road just before 1.30pm, after reports a southbound Kawasaki motorcycle and a northbound Subaru Outback collided in the northbound lane.

The rider of the motorcycle – a 47-year-old woman – died at the scene, and the 68-year-old man driving the car remained uninjured and was taken to Bowral District Hospital for mandatory testing.

Officers attached to The Hume Police District established a crime scene and have commenced inquiries into the circumstances of the crash.

NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived at the separate crash sites to try revive the three people.

Earlier in the weekend on Saturday, two men also lost their lives in separate motorcyclist crashes.

Emergency services were also called to Junction Point Road, Tuena, following reports of a motorcyclist having crashed into a safety railing about 4.25pm on Saturday.

The rider of a Triumph motorcycle – a 57-year-old man – was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics at the scene, and sadly could not be saved.

Fire and Rescue NSW has said in an online statement the man “crashed and fell down an embankment” and a rescue helicopter was deployed to assist.

Later in the day at about 6.25pm, emergency services were called to another incident on Brayton Road, Marulan, also involving a motorcyclist.

The 62-year-old man had reportedly struck a tree near the Ambrose Rd intersection and was located near his Suzuki motorcycle.

A NSW Police media spokeswoman said he was already deceased once emergency services came and could not be revived.

Officers from The Hume Police District established crime scenes at both crash sites, which were examined by specialist forensic police.

At this stage, it is unknown where the two men lived.

Acting Inspector Joshua Beaumont described the crashes as “something that has had a huge impact on the community.”

“We are currently awaiting a report on road safety to look at the things we can do a bit better to ensure that we all get home safe,” Acting Inspector Beaumont said.

The Hume Police District Commander, Superintendent Paul Condon, said police are urging drivers to slow down.

“It’s a timely reminder to all drivers and pedestrians to take extra care on our roads. There should be no unnecessary distractions when getting behind the wheel or crossing the road,” Superintendent Condon said.

“Now that travel restrictions are no longer in place, more people are choosing to drive to visit family and friends in regional locations.

“For those who spent significant time in isolation last year, please make sure to drive to the conditions and look after yourselves and other motorists.

“Make sure you’re well rested and have allowed plenty of travel time to get to where you need to be without rushing.

“We want to make sure there are no more fatalities on the roads, and that responsibility begins with you.”

Investigations into the circumstances of the crashes are underway and the three reports will be prepared for the Coroner.

Anyone with information about the incidents is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
