Rider stopped in tracks by his own bike AN attempt to outrun WA police ended in pain and embarrassment for a motorcycle rider, after he fell into a ditch and his bike landed on top of him. Late on Tuesday, police near Armadale on Perth's outskirts spotted a motorbike being driven off a sidewalk and into the path of their police car. The rider failed to stop and accelerated away, but when another patrol drove past him, he pulled over and tried to run off. Unfortunately for him, he fell into a drainage ditch and the bike he'd been riding fell on top of him. He tried to run off again, but made only 20 metre before collapsing. An ambulance took the man to Royal Perth Hospital for treatment for minor injuries. Police say he will be charged by summons for failing to stop and no authority to drive.
