Motorcyclist victim of racing teens - police
11:45AM Tuesday Sep 15, 2009
A south Auckland motorcyclist killed as he rode home from a Northland funeral at the weekend was the victim of two teenager drivers racing each other, say police.
Asa Le Grande Te Kare, 43, died when his motorcycle was hit by one of two cars racing north on State Highway 1 just south of Warkworth about 7pm on Saturday.
Police said witnesses have told them two cars were racing north when one of the drivers lost control and his car crossed the centre line and hit Mr Te Kare.
"The two vehicles, a white Toyota Altezza and a silver Subaru Legacy, both entered a moderate right hand bend and the Altezza lost control.
"It slid sideways onto the wrong side of the road where it took out a motorcycle," said Inspector Stu Kearns from the police serious crash unit.
He said Mr Te Kare was minding his own business and doing nothing wrong.
He said the vehicles were travelling at "considerable speed" before the incident and several factors contributed to the loss of control.
Sergeant Bede Haughey from the Warkworth police said both teenage drivers had been spoken to and charges were likely.
