Teenager charged with manslaughter after allegedly hitting woman while riding electric motorbike
A 17-year-old boy has been charged with manslaughter after he allegedly collided with a woman while riding an electric motorbike in suburban Perth. Police say they observed an unregistered, off-road electric motorbike being ridden erratically about 2.30pm on Saturday afternoon in the Woodvale area, in Perth's northern suburbs. It is alleged that a short time later, the motorcycle was involved in a collision with a 59-year-old woman in the neighbouring suburb of Edgewater. Emergency services were called to the scene and the woman was taken to Joondalup hospital with critical injuries, but she died overnight. The teenager has been charged with manslaughter, having no authority to drive and using an unlicensed vehicle on a road. He was refused bail and is due to appear in Perth Children's Court on Sunday. Major Crash investigators are appealing for witnesses to contact CrimeStoppers. They would like to hear from anyone who has dash-cam or mobile phone vision that captured the electric motorbike travelling throughout Woodvale and Edgewater prior to the crash, including pathways adjacent to Lake Joondalup.
