Police have named the male who died in a crash on Stock Road in Hastings last week.
Codie Irwin, a 16-year-old from Flaxmere, was killed after a collision between a motorcycle and a truck around 8.30am on Thursday, January 25th.
The cause of the crash is being investigated by theHawke's Bay Serious Crash Unit.
Last week, a police officer at the scene said a motorbike was travelling on the wrong side of Stock Rd, on a limestone cycle pathway, heading north towards Flaxmere when a truck pulled out of a driveway.
Police have appealed for witnesses, or anyone who may have seen the motorcycle and rider/pillion passenger, neither of whom were wearing helmets, before the crash.
A police spokesperson said inquiries so far have identified that this motorcycle was seen in the Stock and Maraekakaho Rds area a short time before the crash, being ridden on the grass verge and limestone cycleway track.
Police would particularly like to speak with a woman walking her dog on the limestone cycleway track on Stock Rd immediately before the crash.
The death is the second on Hawke's Bay roads this year.
