A man on an electric bicycle has died in a bus crash outside a primary school.

The fatal collision happened about 3.30pm Thursday near the Tunnicliffe St and Parmelia Ave roundabout in Parmelia, south of Perth.

The 37-year-old was rushed from the crash site near St Vincent’s School to Rockingham Hospital but died from injuries suffered in the crash.

 

The 59-year-old female driver and passengers on the orange bus were not hurt.

“Major Crash investigators are conducting an examination of the scene and are appealing for any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers,” a WA Police spokesperson said.

Police again urged “all motorists to take care on the road”.

“Drive safely and keep in mind the wellbeing of yourself and others,” the spokesperson said.

It comes amid WA’s decade-high road toll, with 74 people killed to this point in 2026.

The death also comes after the WA Government committed to “nation-leading” eRideable safety reform.

A parliamentary inquiry was held after Perth father Thanh Phan was killed by a drunk e-scooter rider, and was expanded when a 59-year-old was allegedly hit and killed by an electric off-road bike just a couple of months later.

The inquiry made 33 recommendations, including treating eRideables as motor vehicles when it comes to alcohol and drug testing, better infrastructure, and a review of penalties to reflect the risks of non-compliance.

WA offered in-principle support to 32 recommendations, but is keen to see action from the federal government.
