Port Macquarie News Senior Journalist Ruby Pascoe caught up with Mid North Coast Police District Chief Inspector Stuart Campbell, for an update on what has been keeping police busy.
Truck veers into wrong lane
About 4pm on Monday, May 22 a rider and passenger were travelling on a motorcycle west along Pembrooke Road, Pembrooke.
It's believed that a vehicle, possibly a Norco truck, has crossed to the incorrect side of the road.
This caused the motorcycle rider to take evasive action which caused the rider and passenger to fall from the motorcycle.
The truck failed to stop and drove away.
The rider was uninjured, however the passenger suffered grazes to her torso.
The motorcycle was extensively damaged in the incident.
Police are appealing to members of the public who may have witnessed the incident or have dash cam footage to contact Port Macquarie Police or CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000.
