A much-loved dad has been named as the man who died in a four-vehicle crash in Adelaide on Tuesday.
Motorbike racer Kym Liebig, 58, was riding his black Suzuki home on South Road at Hindmarsh in the city’s inner suburbs when he was hit.
A white Holden Commodore travelling south allegedly crashed through fencing on the median strip, 7News reported.
The Commodore allegedly veered onto the wrong side of the road and into the path of the motorbike and two other vehicles at around 3.50pm on Tuesday.
Mr Liebig came off the bike, witnesses said, and was then reportedly run over by a Mazda ute.
The emergency services tied to revive him when they arrived, but were unable to save him.
His distraught wife Prudence posted an online tribute saying ‘whilst coming home to me, my darling Kym was killed. He is gone, I am broken.’
Mr Liebig was an experienced rider who was well-known in South Australian motorcycle circles.
