A young male motorcyclist died after a collision with a car at Arncliffe overnight.
Nine News has named the rider as Ali Mohana.
Friends have taken to social media to pay tribute to the ‘happy and loving man’.
‘’Ali Mohana you were the one of the best blokes out there, always making people laugh, up and coming hairdresser but taken too young. May your soul rest in peace as heaven has gained another angel,’’ one man wrote.
‘’Always a beautiful man and you will be remembered by all,’’ another woman posted.
The accident occurred about 9pm on Sunday in Wollongong Road.
A police spokesman said the motorcycle rider, 22, was taken to hospital, where he later died.
“The male driver of the car was taken to hospital for mandatory tests; he was not injured,” the spokesman said.
A large number of the motorcylist’s family and friends gathered outside St George Hospital after the accident.
