A Sunshine Coast motorcycle rider has died in a crash near Bundaberg.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the crash that occurred at South Bingera about 1pm on Sunday afternoon.

Initial investigations indicate a black Yamaha motorcycle was travelling along South Bingera Road when it collided with a blue Ford Ranger towing a trailer.

The rider of the motorcycle, a 42-year-old Pacific Paradise man, was sadly declared dead at the scene.
