A man has died following a serious crash involving his motorcycle and another vehicle that is still causing significant delays for motorists on the Pacific Motorway at Shailer Park.

The crash occurred near the Nujooloo Road overpass about 5:45am, with initial investigations suggesting the 33-year-old man from Mount Warren Park was filtering through traffic on his motorcycle in the northbound lanes of the M1 when he collided with a car.

The impact caused him to be thrown from his bike into the southbound lanes of the M1.

AVOID the location if you can. Very significant traffic delays. Southbound lanes remain closed, diverting off at exit 28. Northbound also very, very heavily congested.
