Motorcycle crash victim succumbs to critical injuries

A MAN has died after succumbing to critical injures he received in a horrific motorcycle accident in the NSW Upper Hunter Region last week.

Officers say the 34-year-old Kingswood man was catapulted off his Kawasaki motorcycle and into a letterbox after colliding heavily with a curb on Wollombi Road in Muswellbrook shortly after 10 o’clock last Thursday night, July 9.

He was rushed by ambulance to John Hunter Hospital where he remained with life-threatening injuries for five days before sadly passing away on Tuesday.

Police have launched an investigation into the now fatal accident and will prepare a report for the Coroner.
