Officers attached to Liverpool City Police Area Command attempted to stop a motorcycle travelling southbound on the Hume Highway at Liverpool just before 2 am on Saturday.

They pursued the bike after the rider failed to stop, but police terminated the pursuit on Flowerdale Road due to safety concerns.

A short time later, the motorcycle was located on Flowerdale Road after crashing into a parked car.

Paramedics treated the man, however he died at the scene.

One woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, heard the crash in the early hours of the morning and raced outside where she witnessed the carnage.

“It’s emotional. As a community member, seeing this… because now his family have lost him,” she said.
