\u201cHe was moaning and cursing a bit,\u201d they said. \u201cWe moved him on to his side pretty quickly to keep his leg still, but he was in a lot of pain.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Harley-Davidson collided with an oncoming car on Clevedon-Kawakawa Rd on Sunda.<\/p>\n
The passenger landed in a ditch on the other side of the road and suffered a cut and bruising to her lower left leg.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks like she might have a broken ankle but was in pretty good spirits,\u201d the eyewitness said.<\/p>\n
The eyewitness was on the scene moments after the event and said he saw the pair rolling along the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuckily they weren\u2019t going too fast at the time. It looks like the bike slid as they went round a bend and, unfortunately, the car was coming the other way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ambulance, police and fire crews were quickly on the scene and the road was closed. The motorcyclists were treated then transported for assessment at Middlemore Hospital.<\/p>\n
The driver of the car and a passenger were assessed by ambulance crew but seemed to have escaped injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were pretty lucky, all things considered,\u201d the eyewitness said. <\/p>\n
Police said a two-vehicle crash was reported at about 10am and one person suffered serious injuries.<\/p>\n
The cause of the crash is under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cHe was moaning and cursing a bit,\u201d they said. \u201cWe moved him on to his side pretty quickly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488144,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1977,205334,28649,3549,2837,22857,169741,14046,78,15258,16507,661,28369,111,43,139,69,33263,14734,212614,1071,1076,8145,165,1865,3608,1316,102],"class_list":["post-488143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-charity","tag-clevedon","tag-collided","tag-crash","tag-during","tag-escape","tag-harleydavidson","tag-hurt","tag-in","tag-injury","tag-lucky","tag-major","tag-motorcycle","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-oncoming","tag-passenger","tag-poker","tag-rider","tag-riders","tag-run","tag-their","tag-today","tag-were","tag-when","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488143\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
