A report will be prepared for the Coroner after a motorcyclist and his pillion passenger died in a crash north of Windsor today.

About 4.30pm a northbound Ford utility was overtaking another vehicle on Putty Road, Mellong, about 65km north of Windsor, when it struck a group of three oncoming motorcycles.

Two men, aged in their forties, were thrown from one of the bikes and died at the scene.

Three men travelling on the two other bikes received minor injuries and were taken to Westmead and Hawkesbury Hospitals for treatment.

The 31-year-old female driver of the utility and her male passenger were also taken to Hawkesbury Hospital where they were treated for minor injuries.

Putty Road remains blocked whilst officers from the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit examine the scene

Any witnesses to the crash who have not yet spoken to police are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

I had heard something about a bad crash involving two bike riders but didn't know where when Annick said what she'd heard.

You know when this flashed up on the news the other night all I could think about was it one of our guys from the forum and as I did'nt have access to my computer I was looking through the next days papers to find some info but it seemed to drop off the news pretty quickly, even went onto MSN after 'Roaduseer' saw it there and I still couldnt find it.

PHEW!!

  Sad to hear we lost another rider but glad to hear it wasnt any of you guys, that would be a little to close to home, you are part of my (motorcyle) family.
