A motorcyclist has died after his bike crashed at the intersection of the Barton Highway and Gungahlin Drive.
About 5.50pm on Friday, a 28-year-old man was entering onto Gungahlin Drive from the Barton Highway on ramp when he fell from his motorbike.
Witnesses provided first aid and he was taken to hospital by paramedics in a critical condition.
However, the man died soon after his arrival at hospital.
ACT Policing's major collision team has started an investigation and multiple witnesses have been interviewed.
This fatality brings the total number of road deaths in the ACT this year to seven.
In June, a 47-year-old motorcyclist died after a collision involving a truck in west Belconnen.
At the time, Inspector Travis Mills said road fatalities in the ACT had doubled since last year and said people needed to think of others around them while driving.
"This is the sixth road fatality. This time last year we only had three," he said, adding the 47-year-old was also the fourth vulnerable road user who had died this year.
"That is a concerning statistic and it is worrying to say the least.
"Police have been clear in their safety messaging for a long time. Please ride and drive to the conditions ... Do not drive distracted and just get to your destination safely."
