A 50-year-old e-bike rider has died after colliding with a Transperth bus at an intersection in Swan View in Perth’s north-east.

Police said the man was riding an e-bike at the intersection of Marlboro Road and Morrison Road about 6:40pm on Monday when he collided with the bus.

He sustained critical injuries and died at the scene.

Officers from the Major Crash Investigation Section are appealing for witnesses to the crash.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, especially those with dash cam or mobile phone footage, has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

It comes after a 65-year-old male runner died after being hit by a Transperth bus in Perth’s south-east on March 31.

The man had been on his morning run when the collision happened near the intersection of Forest Lakes Drive and Garden Street in Thornlie about 7.40am.

E-rideable laws reviewed

Prior to the man’s death, authorities said at least 12 people had lost their lives on WA roads and footpaths due to e-rideable accidents since 2022.

That included Perth father Thanh Phan, who was run down by a drunk e-scooter rider in May last year.

Mr Phan’s death triggered a landmark review of laws governing e-rideables in WA, including e-scooters and e-bikes.

The review is yet to lead to any change, with the WA government last month urging the Commonwealth to act first by implementing a national crackdown.

Call for more urgency on e-rideable law changes

The families of two West Australians killed in e-scooter accidents say they are disappointed the government is not acting sooner to better regulate e-rideable devices.

The state government said it would fully support, or support in principle, all but one of the review’s 33 recommendations, including punishing retailers who helped people illegally modify e-rideables.

But any changes were put on hold as the government wrote to federal Transport Minister Catherine King asking the Commonwealth for “immediate and tangible action” to address illegal e-rideables.

It said that should include stronger action at the border to crack down on the importation of overpowered and illegal devices.
