According to Melbourne Police Cmdr. Mark Renkens, 47-year-old Katrina Colley of Melbourne, who was a passenger on a Harley Davidson motorcycle, was killed after being ejected.

The passenger of the motorcycle did not appear to be wearing a helmet, according to Cmdr. Renkens.

“Upon the officer’s arrival, they discovered the operator and passenger of a Harley Davidson had been thrown from the motorcycle and had suffered serious, life-threatening injuries due to the crash,” said Cmdr. Renkens.
