The motorcyclist who died after he was thrown from his bike on an approach to a booze bus has been identified as an L-plater believed to be riding a bike four times his allowable licensed limit.
The 24-year-old Bicton man was believed to have been riding at excessive speeds before smashing into the back of a station wagon, which was slowing on its approach to the booze bus, according to police.
The motorcyclist, on his L-plates for a 250CC license, was riding a 1000CC bike belonging to his father when he crashed on Leach Highway in Willagee at 5.15pm yesterday.
A Suzuki station wagon being driven by a 20-year-old woman was slowing down as it approached the booze bus on Leach Highway, situated 500 metres east of the Carrington Street intersection.
A friend of the man, who was riding on a second motorbike behind him was able to stop, and was not injured. He has already been interviewed by officers.
Police say a doctor who was also in line for the booze bus rushed to the rider’s aid following the crash, along with police officers from the booze bus. The man was taken to Royal Perth Hospital but later died from his injuries.
Assistant Commissioner Michelle Fyfe said as part of normal procedure, internal affairs would investigate if the location of the booze bus had played a role in the crash, but said nothing had emerged so far to would indicate it was placed inappropriately.
A number of callers to 6PR radio this morning suggested the location of the booze was inappropriate, and there was not enough visibility for drivers approaching to slow down safely.
Assistant Commissioner Fyfe defended the location and said it would continue to be used as a regular booze bus location unless the current investigation proved it to be dangerous.
“It’s a 70km/h zone, and we were asking drivers to slow down to enter the testing lanes for the booze bus,” she said.
“The deployment of booze buses is about being on a straight stretch of road and it’s about making sure that they are highly visible.
“I am confident that the bus has been placed correctly and that all of our standard operating procedures and Australian standards have been complied with, however it is only right that all of those circumstances be investigated.”
The motorcycle was reported to have left a trail of skid marks at least 40 metres long as it tried to stop.
“That tells me that he may not have been driving to the speed limit,” she said.
“I will leave it to the experienced crash investigators to make a determination with regards to that, but that’s an awful lot of skid marks.”
She said officers would carry out a crash reconstruction in a bid to determine the speed of the motorcyclist prior to the collision.
The officers manning the booze bus were new graduates on their first weekend of duty on the bus, and have all been offered counselling services from WA Police.
The driver of the station wagon has been treated for severe shock.
Separate investigations into the crash are being carried out by internal affairs and the major crash unit.
