The Forensic Crash Unit is currently investigating a tragic motorbike crash that occurred in Ayr last Thursday evening, September 12. According to initial reports, the accident took place at approximately 12:30am when a blue Yamaha WR450F motorbike was travelling south along a footpath near the Bruce Highway.
Sadly, the rider, a 38-year-old man from Ayr, was pronounced dead at the scene. The passenger, a 34-year-old woman, also from Ayr, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to Ayr Hospital for treatment.
Local authorities are urging witnesses or anyone with relevant information or footage of the crash to come forward. The Forensic Crash Unit will be thoroughly reviewing the circumstances surrounding the accident as part of their ongoing investigation.
Motorbike crashes can be particularly devastating, and this incident highlights the dangers of riding on footpaths, which are not designed for motorised vehicles. The crash serves as a sombre reminder of the importance of road safety for all riders and pedestrians alike.
Police are working to piece together the exact sequence of events, and the investigation is expected to continue in the days ahead.
