A MAN has been charged with drink driving and driving while disqualified after he crashed a stolen motorbike on Tuesday at Byron Bay.
About 11.45pm, police officers from the Tweed Byron Local Area Command discovered an abandoned motorcycle at the scene of a crash on Bangalow Rd.
The 26-year-old male rider who fled the scene was located by police nearby in a unit complex, suffering slight injuries.
Further enquiries revealed the man was disqualified from driving until 2023 and the motorcycle had been stolen earlier in the night from the Byron Bay area.
The rider also appeared to be intoxicated, so was breath tested, providing a positive result.
Too bad he didn’t kill himself before he kills anyone else
