“She’s failed to see a motorcyclist travelling south on Eaglehawk Road and has collided with him,” Senior Constable Andrews said.
“She has received an infringement notice for failing to give way,” he said.
Senior Constable Andrews said the crash served as a reminder to drivers to watch out for motorcyclists, particularly when driving in the dark.
“The lady said she had the sun in her eyes so that might have been a contributing factor," he said.
