Stancombe Rd borders Barry Curtis Park, which includes a popular cycling, walking and scootering path.
Saturday’s collision was at least the third fatal crash that had occurred on Stancombe Rd in the past five years.
In 2021, a person died following a crash between a vehicle and a truck, and in 2017, a person came off a motorbike and died on the same stretch of road.
