A Napier publican critically injured when he crashed while
riding a child's bicycle down a hill during a Christmas party
has died.
Brazenhead Pub owner Richard Irvine had his life support
switched off in Hawke's Bay Hospital last night.
Mr Irvine was taken to hospital on Sunday, after apparently
falling off a child-sized BMX bike while riding at high
speed, down a steep slope.
The incident took place at a work party, police said.
