Appeal for witnesses to fatal crash

 Police are renewing their appeal for witnesses to a fatal motorcycle crash in Healesville.

Major Collision Investigation Unit Detectives believe a red Honda motorcycle was travelling south along Myers Creek Road when it collided with a green Toyota Hilux travelling in the opposite direction about 10.40am on Saturday 6 October.

The rider, a 62-year-old Eltham man, died at the scene.

The Hilux driver, a 30-year-old Werribee man, is assisting police with their inquiries.

Four other occupants of the car were not injured.

A cyclist told police they saw a red vehicle driving behind the Hilux before the collision, and that the driver left the scene before police arrived.

Investigators are keen to speak to the driver and any other witnesses.

No one has been charged and the investigation is ongoing.
