A patch of gravel on a bend on Old Coach Road Te Puke resulted in a 41 year old Rotorua man suffering serious injuries when he dropped his bike on Thursday.
The man suffered shoulder, arm, leg and hand injuries in the 6pm crash.
After coming off the bike on the gravel, he struck a fence, and his motorcycle landed on top of him, Te Puke St John ambulance say. He was taken to Tauranga Hospital.

More Roadworks Warnings Please

As a motorcyclist myself, I see unmarked gravel on corners far too often. I don't know if the Old Coach Road bend in Te Puke had warning signs but if not I'd like to see the workmen held responsible for this serious accident.
