A 37-year-old man has died after the electric bicycle he was riding hit a bus in Parmelia on Thursday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

About 3.30pm, the black e-bike and an orange bus collided near a roundabout at the intersection of Parmelia Avenue and Tunnicliffe Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rider of the e-bike was taken to Rockingham General Hospital but died from his injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The driver of the bus, a 59-year-old woman, was not hurt, nor were any of the passengers on board.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Major crash investigators are appealing for any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n

Parliamentary inquiry<\/p>\n

The man’s death comes just five months after a parliamentary inquiry into WA’s e-rideable laws made 33 recommendations in a bid to make the devices safer for riders and pedestrians.<\/p>\n

The inquiry was triggered by the death of Perth father Thanh Phan, who was hit by a drunk e-scooter rider in May last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was expanded when a 59-year-old woman died after being hit by an electric off-road motorbike in July last year<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The recommendations included harsher penalties for riders committing offences, a crackdown on modifications to e-rideables, and better infrastructure to separate e-rideables from pedestrians and cars.<\/p>\n

But it was revealed in March the recommendations would not result in immediate change<\/a>, with the state government writing to the federal government asking it to take action first.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The state government banned children under 16 from riding and storing e-rideables at all WA public schools from the start of this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 37-year-old man has died after the electric bicycle he was riding hit a bus in Parmelia on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[148787,317683,317685,317686,300811,43,44,317688,317689,317684,317687,300813,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-657073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-e-bike-crash","tag-e-bike-orange-bus-crash","tag-e-bike-rider-dies","tag-e-bike-rider-dies-bus-crash","tag-fatal-e-bike-crash","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-parmelia-bus-crash","tag-parmelia-e-bike-crash","tag-parmelia-e-bike-rider-dies","tag-parmelia-fatal-crash","tag-perth-e-bike-crash","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
