Road toll 'worst in five years'

One horror crash saw a rider and his bike dragged under a four-wheel-drive for more than 250 metres before the car stopped.
It is understood the woman driver if the car was reaching for a cigarette and did not see the motorcyclist.

"From the trail of debris and body matter on the road we know he was dragged along,'' Constable Goddard said.
The four-wheel drive came to rest 400m from the point of impact, on the wrong side of the road.
