The grim discovery was made by a member of the public on Sunday night after a crash involving cars and an unoccupied motorcycle. Officers at the scene were told three cars crashed into the motorcycle before a person found the body of the man believed to be the rider nearby, police say. The body is yet to be formally identified. The incident was reported at about 7.15pm on Sunday. Police and paramedics were called to the M1 Pacific Motorway near Billinudgel, following reports several cars had crashed into an unoccupied motorcycle. After a member of the public found the body, two drivers were taken to Byron Central Hospital for mandatory testing. A third driver underwent testing at Tweed Valley Hospital. “A crime scene has been established and officers attached to Crash Investigation Unit were called to commence an investigation into the incident,” a police spokesperson said. “All vehicles were seized to be forensically examined.” A report will be prepared for the coroner. Nationally, the number of road deaths through this year to June was higher than the previous year; 362 people have died on NSW roads in this period, compared to 339 the year before, federal government data shows.
