Vincent George Wiremu Hutan was driving on Bumstead Rd, Crestmead when his motorcycle and another vehicle collided around 4pm near the intersection of Geaney Boulevard.

Mr Hutana sustained critical injuries and died at the scene.

The family have started a GoFundMe page to help them take the 34-year-old Crestmead resident home to New Zealand.

“Our cuz has (had) just gotten over his fears of being on bikes,” his cousin, Rangimaria Symons posted on the page.

“He was an honest hard working man who loved his family.

“A heart of gold that was so tender and sweet.

Almost $2500 of the $15,000 goal has already been raised on GoFundMe page.

The driver of the vehicle was physically uninjured.
