Police seek witnesses

Police are appealing for witnesses to a motorcycle accident late last month in which a 46-year-old Woy Woy man died.

The accident occurred around 11.40am on Friday, March 19, when the local man's motorcycle collided with a truck at Bucketty.

Police said the collision is believed to have happened when the motorbike performed a U-turn on George Downes Dr.

The road was closed for several hours while police investigated the incident.

A 48-year-old female pillion passenger, also from Woy Woy, was airlifted to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, where she remained in a stable condition.

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old truck driver from Hamlyn Terrace was not injured in the accident but was taken to Gosford Hospital for mandatory blood and urine tests.

Investigations are continuing and any witnesses are asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
