A man and woman remain in Intensive Care in the John Hunter Hospital following separate crashes overnight involving an E-Bike and a motorcycle in Newcastle.
Police say just after 10.00pm on Wednesday 22 October, a 26-year-old woman was riding an E-Bike on Cowper Street North at Carrington when she collided with a parked caravan near Bourke Street.
Then just before 12.30am on Thursday 23 October, a 27-year-old man crashed his motorbike into a roundabout on Denison Street at Hamilton.
Police say despite both riders wearing helmets, each suffered significant head injuries and were taken to the John Hunter in a critical condition.
Investigators are looking into whether speed and/or alcohol were factors in the crashes.
