A young female motorbike rider has died after being struck by a vehicle driven by an alleged ‘vigilante’ who was chasing a stolen car through streets in north Queensland. The 22-year-old female died when her bike collided head-on with the Statesman sedan alleged to be in pursuit of another car in Townsville late Friday night. Superintendent Glen Pointing said a person driving the Holden Statesman sedan had allegedly been “aggressively” following an alleged stolen Hyundai hatchback about 10pm. The vehicles collided at the intersection of Ridley Road and Ross River Road, Kirwan. The Statesman sedan has then crossed the median strip into the path of the motorcycle, Mr Ponting said. “It will be alleged the Statesman sedan has aggressively followed this vehicle, (before it) collided with the rear of the vehicle,” Supt Ponting said. “The driver of the Statesman has then lost control and the vehicle crossed the centre median strip and collided head-on with a motorcycle travelling in the opposite direction. “Tragically as a result of that incident a 22-year-old local girl has died.”
