A 47-year-old Canberra man has died after losing control of his motorcycle in south Canberra on Sunday night.
ACT Policing arrived to the scene at Anketell Street and Athllon Drive, in Bonython, at 7:30pm.
"Unfortunately, a male has died at the scene as a result in the injuries sustained at the scene," police said in a statement.
"ACT Policing's Collision Investigation and Reconstruction Team are examining the circumstances surrounding the collision and a report will be prepared for the coroner."
Officer in charge of traffic operations, Marcus Boorman, said it appeared the motorcyclist entered the roundabout and came off his bike.
He said it seemed speed was a contributing factor in the crash and called on vulnerable road users like motorcyclists and bicyclists to take extra care.
"I'm a bit frustrated at this point and the messaging we continually give is obviously not being listened to," Station Sergeant Boorman said.
"People need to understand that out on the roads you need to be responsible, not only to look out for yourself but to look out for everyone else."
It is the territory's fifth road death so far this year. There were just four in all of 2017. Station Sergeant Boorman labelled it "extremely frustrating".
