A motorbike rider has sadly died after a horror collision with a ute on a major highway south of the border.

NSW police arrived on the scene shortly after 2.30pm on Sunday, after reports of a crash involving a motorcycle and a ute on the New England Highway at Bolivia, south of Tenterfield.

A male motorcycle rider died at the scene in the High Country prior to the arrival of emergency services. He is yet to be formally identified by police.

It is understood the driver of the ute was uninjured in the crash.

The road was closed following the accident with diversions in place, which is open now.

The tragic death comes after a horror three day period on our roads in the border region.

The woman’s three girls, aged between five and one were taken to Warwick Hospital on Friday night in a stable condition with only minor injuries.
