POLICE are investigating the traffic death of a 34-year-old man.

On Tuesday, the man was operating a 60cc scooter along Cox Way off East Street around 1.20am when he reportedly lost control and ran into a utility pole.

He received serious head injuries and died on the scene.

Meanwhile, police are investigating a double shooting incident that has hospitalised two men.

The incident occurred shortly after 4.30pm on Monday.

The first victim was at a family residence on Watlings Street when two masked men approached and discharged gunshots in his direction, shooting him multiple times about his body. The second victim was walking near the initial incident when he was shot in his left arm and leg.

Both victims were taken to the Princess Margaret Hospital by a private vehicle for medical attention. They are said to be in stable condition.
