00:30 This incident happened yesterday night just after 6.30pm.

00:34 Police say up to two bikes and likely a quad bike as well were riding on Beatties Road

00:40 just behind me when some sort of collision occurred, obviously injuring those people.

00:47 Police have also this morning issued a warning to road users.

00:51 Have a listen.

00:52 The message is that motorcycles are not toys, they can be lethal weapons and it's two lives

01:02 tragically lost needlessly and added to our road toll this year.

01:09 That road toll is now sitting at 193 lives tragically lost.

01:14 As I say, we are just near Melton in Melbourne's outer west.

01:19 Despite being only about 40 minutes from the city here, it is kind of like a rural area.

01:25 We're surrounded by paddocks.

01:26 We've got the Western Freeway to my right and to my left a winery.

01:30 So there is paddocks almost like rural roads.

01:33 Police have just packed up the scene behind me.

01:36 We've seen SES leaving.

01:38 We've seen a tow truck with a motorbike on board leaving the scene and also police leaving

01:42 the scene this morning.

01:43 So despite the scene being cleared, that investigation into what exactly happened, still happening

01:48 throughout the day.
