A Whanganui police officer is reminding drivers to try to be aware of people in smaller vehicles after a motorcyclist was injured in a crash.
Constable Trevor Scarrow from the Whanganui police strategic traffic unit said a motorcyclist was going through the Dublin St roundabout on the Somme Pde side,when a car coming from Aramoho hit him.
The incident happened about 11.15am on Monday.
The motorcyclist was knocked off the bike and received injuries to his arm, Scarrow said.
"The driver has said he didn't see the motorbike," Scarrow said.
Drivers needed to try to be more aware of people on bicycles and motorcycles as there had been a few more collisions than usual over summer, Scarrow said.
Some drivers were approaching roundabouts a bit too fast, he said.
