Spotted this on the way home this afternoon... Copper was walking around and looked fine.

Looks like it was a single vehicle accident too.

Location: Eastern end of Ginninderra Drive (right near Ellenborough Street) in Canberra, ACT.

hey look out another human made a mistake!!!! I'm so glad you were there to document it!

More interesting is the bright strip on the pedestrian pole. Don't have those down south.

It's a bike path divider pole actually.

Thanks for the clarification! We still don't have them here, however.

i wonder how he managed that one

[CSP]

Looked to me as though he came around the left hander a bit quick and drifted too wide, hit the median and it high sided him.

The bike is actually in a lot worse shape than the photos indicate.... The front end is completely mangled and it's definitely not being ridden again!

Oh bugger thats one of the newer bikes in the fleet, hadn't heard about that one. Poor bugger bike crashes hurt.

[daron]

if it was one of us it would have been

yeah...

civillian = slapped with at least neg driving.
copper = police convention on the scene and a collective "lucky you're ok mate" - damn that deisel spill (the rider actually posted regarding the crash on another forum).
