Motorcyclist killed in Lara

[Hawksam]

Got caught up this morning in the traffic jam on the way to work. Alovely police lady advised me to take care.

EMERGENCY services are at the scene of a fatal motorcycle crash at Lara.

It is believed the male rider lost control of the motorbike while riding along Forest Rd, near the intersection of Heales Rd, about 6am.

Paramedics were unable to revive the man, aged in his late 30s, when they arrived on the scene.

Senior Sergeant Shane Coles, of Corio highway patrol, said police were yet to determine the cause of the crash and a number of possible scenarios were under consideration.

RIP and condolences to the family

The road at the section where the accident happened is very dangerous because of the fertiliser plant which leaves crap all over the road.
