The partner of a man who died in a motorcycle accident at Meadowbrook on Monday has told of the sickening moment she realised the love of her life had been killed.

Amanda Ross, who got engaged to Jason Bennett last month, said her 48-year-old partner was on his beloved motorcycle when he died at the corner of Blue Eagle Dr and Ellerslie Rd just after 3.30pm.

A 66-year-old woman, who was driving a silver Honda sedan was taken to Logan Hospital with minor injuries.

In a tragic twist of fate, Ms Ross had asked her fiance not to ride his bike that day.

The pair were moving items to a shipping container and she was in a car just moments behind her partner when he was killed.

“I tried to stop Jason from taking the bike yesterday and said to take it today but he jumped on and took off,” she told family and friends on social media.

Jason Bennett posted this photo of his motorbike.

“Jessie Taylor and I were in my car taking stuff to mine and Jason’s shipping container and Jason was ahead on his bike instead of waiting until today to take it,” she wrote.

“I was five cars behind the corner and he was already dead by the time I got there.

“We had just got engaged and were planning to do IVF but unfortunately, I don’t have any money,” she said.

Ms Ross, 26, who is unemployed, said the family was struggling to cope and could not afford to pay for the funeral.

Mr Bennett’s daughter Brittany said she was in shock about her father’s sudden death.

“He was from Melbourne but moved up here when my brother was four,” she said.

“He was a factory worker most of his life but his true passion he loves to build things and he was so intelligent with computers and honestly could fix anything you asked.”

Jason Bennett died when his motorcycle collided with a car at Meadowbrook this week.

His former boss Paul Donovan, who owns Greencare Essentials Lawn and Garden Maintenance at Loganholme, said Mr Bennett was a “likeable character” who always tried to do the right thing.

“He wasn’t a bad person but he did have some personal problems,” Mr Donovan said.

“I haven’t seen him for a few years so the news is a shock to me.”

Police have called for information or any dashcam footage from the corner from around 3.30pm.

Along with his partner Ms Ross, Mr Bennett leaves behind his son Steven, 30, and daughter Brittany Jade, 23, who both live in the Logan area.

His death brought the state’s road toll for this year to 101, up from the toll of 86 at the same time last year.
