David Boxer has been remembered by loved ones after a fatal crash in Adelaide’s north – just hours after another cyclist was fatally struck by a train.

Family and friends of fatal crash victim David Boxer have flocked to social media to leave tributes following a horrific crash in Adelaide’s north.

The 27-year-old was tragically killed after his motorcycle collided with a car at Main North Rd, Salisbury Heights, just before 10.30pm on Tuesday.

He died at the scene while the driver of the car was not injured in the crash.

The intersection of Main North Rd, Saints Rd and The Grove Way was closed while Major Crash investigated the collision but has since reopened.

The man’s death is the 44th on South Australian roads compared with 21 the same time last year.

It follows the death of a cyclist on Tuesday afternoon, who was hit and killed by a train at a pedestrian crossing at Ascot Park.

Emergency services were called to a crossing on Sixth Ave and Railway Terrace at about 3pm.

The 41-year-old cyclist from Adelaide died at the scene.
