Night rider
The Arterial Road is largely straight, but does have a couple of bends and some crests, and runs between an Army Reserve and bushland.
There could be a number of causes for the accident with fault on either side.
Riding at night through semi-rural areas such as this can have dangers for riders.
It follows the recent fatal crash in Sydney’s Royal National Park at night.
