A 58-year-old motorcyclist has died in a horror crash in Adelaide’s southern suburbs, after he collided with a car at a notorious intersection on Tuesday afternoon.

The incident occurred about 2.20pm on Lonsdale Rd, at Hallett Cove.

Ambulance workers were seen administering CPR to an individual at the scene before the area was covered with blue tarpaulin.

Sadly, despite the efforts of paramedics, the motorcyclist, a Sheidow Park man, died at the scene.

The driver of the car, a 76-year-old Hallett Cove man, also sustained injuries in the crash and was taken to hospital.

Patrick Bale who lives directly across from the crash scene said he left his house and found the emergency response under way.

“We’ve had that many accidents in this place, it’s not funny,” he said, adding that his letters to politicians pleading for better safety measures had been ignored.

“It had to happen. Sooner or later some was going to get killed, and they’ve done nothing.”

A number of ambulances and police cars – as well as a fire service vehicle – were sighted at the scene.

Major Crash investigators attended and examined the scene.

Police said the road is expected to remain closed until later this evening.

Motorists were urged to take an alternate route if possible, with northbound traffic on Lonsdale Rd now diverted onto The Cove Rd.

The rider is the 34th life lost on South Australian roads so far this year.
