E-bike rider dies following collision with car in Brisbane's Coorparoo
A 33-year-old e-bike rider from Holland Park has died after being struck by a car on Chatsworth Road in Coorparoo, Brisbane, at approximately 6:30pm on Wednesday, September 24, 2026. The incident occurred just after sunset, with the rider being transported to Princess Alexandra Hospital but later declared deceased. The driver of the Suzuki Impreza involved in the collision, a 28-year-old male, was not injured. Forensic crash investigators are currently examining the accident scene, and police are appealing to the public for any eyewitness accounts or footage of the crash or its immediate lead-up. This incident marks the second fatality involving e-mobility devices in Queensland following the introduction of stricter safety laws aimed at protecting riders. The previous incident involved a 13-year-old boy who died last month after crashing on an e-scooter while not wearing a helmet. The new legislation, which is the first of its kind in Australia, stipulates that only individuals over 16 with valid driver's licenses can operate e-scooters and e-bikes. The laws were implemented to enhance safety standards for e-mobility users, particularly in light of the recent tragic deaths. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the crash to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation. The community is also reminded of the importance of adhering to safety regulations when using e-mobility devices to prevent further incidents.
