Hutt Valley Police can confirm that the motorcyclist killed on Wednesday 7 September in Upper Hutt was 37 year old Koro Robin PEACHEY of Wainuiomata.
Peachey failed to take a slight right-hand bend while travelling south on Fergusson Drive and lost control of the motorcycle colliding with a pole. It appears excessive speed, in what was a 50kph area, was a contributing factor to the crash.
Investigations are continuing.
