A GRIM coincidence for local motorcyclists had three riders severely injured in separate road crashes over two days last week.
In a further coincidence, the crashes happened the same week of the launch of the Road Safety Commission’s Motorcycle Safety Week, which begins tomorrow.
Police said the first happened in Tapping on Wednesday, when a 25-year-old Harley Davidson rider crashed into the back of a beige Toyota Camry that was turning right onto Veronese Pass off Ashley Road about 6.55pm.
