A MOTORCYCLIST was killed in a collision at a busy Plympton intersection Saturday night.

Police and emergency services were called when the motorbike and a car collided at the corner of Anzac Hwy and Cross Rd at Plympton just after 9pm.

The 41-year-old North Plympton man died at the scene, which remained closed to traffic for some time as Major Crash officers investigated.

Police were unable to provide any further details about the man, who was the 24th motorcyclist killed on the state’s roads this year, compared to eight in 2016.

The driver of the car was not injured but was taken to hospital.

The man’s death takes the state’s road toll to 98, compared to 82 at the same time last year.

He is the 24th motorcycle fatality this year as compared to 8 at the same time last year.

Police are urging all motorists to take extra care on South Australian roads this Christmas long weekend.

The Advertiser last week revealed the State Government was considering a crackdown on motorcyclist licensing in reaction to the spiralling number of motorcyclist deaths.
