TWO separate motorcycle accidents at the weekend claimed the life of a woman while two people were seriously injured.
In the early hours of Sunday morning Emer-G-Med was called out to a serious collision involving a motorbike and car on the corner of Pomona and High roads.
It is believed the bike side-swiped a car after the car had made a sudden lane change, causing the biker to be thrown off the bike.
