An hour later, paramedics were called to another motorbike crash on Clarence Valley Way, Tabulam, where they transported a 51-year-old man to Lismore Base Hospital in a stable condition.
While this morning, a 61-year-old man died at the scene of another motorbike crash on the Pacific Highway near the Cudgera Creek Road off ramp, south of Tweed Heads.
