Tragically the 65-year-old died at the scene.

R.I.P. PETER MATHEWS
Yesterday, Peter was tragically killed in a two motorcycle collision near RYLSTONE, NSW whilst returning from ‘The Annual WALL 2 WALL ride’.
A Dr Keith BRENNAN was on the scene with Peter receiving Emergency care by the subject doctor and fellow members of “The Newy Crew” who tried desperately to bring him home. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful with Peter passing away in the care of his mates…
Thoughts go out to his wife Kate & family
Please take a minute to reflect on one of our ‘Retired Members’ who was tragically killed travelling home from the Wall to Wall Ride yesterday.
Our Brother is well known to some of our COM members.
RIP Peter Mathews. I am sure all of our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.

Police Ode
As the sun surely sets: dawn will see it arise,
for service, above self, demands its own prize.
You have fought the good fight: life’s race has been run, and peace, your reward, for eternity begun.
And we that are left, shall never forget, rest in peace friend and colleague, for the sun has now set.
We will remember.
Hasten the dawn.
