A report is being prepared for the Coroner after a motorcyclist was killed in a crash near Scone.

Police say it appears a man in his 40’s was riding on the New England Highway at Parkville on Saturday afternoon when he collided with a northbound 4wheel drive before colliding with a second 4 wheel drive travelling south.

The man died at the scene.

Police are appealing for information from anyone who witnessed the crash.

Meanwhile, The Hunter’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter has flown two people to hospital after separate motorbike accidents.

A 14-year-old girl suffered arm and leg injuries after coming off her bike at Allyndale near Dungog and  a 55-year-old man sustained ankle and foot injuries in a Quad Bike accident at Seaham.
