INDIAN OCEAN DRIVE CRASH UPDATE
An accident involving three cars at the intersection of Lancelin Road and Indian Ocean Drive has resulted in only one lane being open into and out of the town. Traffic is moving now southbound but those vehicles heading from the north to Lancelin cannot turn into Lancelin Road.
UPDATE: At 3:50pm the road was open again
RIDERS UPDATE
A good number of people have provided police with video clips of two young men riding recklessly in Lancelin yesterday. These off-road bikes, carried no plates, were excessively loud and were being ridden on one wheel at speed on town streets yesterday morning.
Lancelin off-road area is the perfect place for that sort of activity and has been for years.
If you have any other video evidence, the local police would welcome it.
And in this clip, one of the two riders comes a cropper on Sidney Street.
