Two men who suffered "serious injuries" in a motorcycle crash in Whanganui East weren't wearing helmets, a resident says.
Matt Rogers heard a loud bang outside his house on the corner of Jellicoe St and Maketu St just before 11.30pm on Wednesday.
"I raced out there because I was worried about my car and I just found two unconscious guys on the ground."
He believed the men had been riding a blue motocross bike along the footpath and hit a brick pillar at the corner of his driveway.
He said the bike had come to rest right by the pillar and there appeared to be paint chips on the bricks.
