At about 1.40pm on Wednesday March 20, emergency services were called to the Oxley Highway near Mount Seaview, about 65km west of Wauchope, after reports that a motorcycle and a 4WD towing a caravan had collided.

Upon arrival, police officers and NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the male motorcyclist, but he was unable to be revived.

The man, believed to be in his 40s, has yet to be formally identified.

The male driver and the female passenger of the vehicle were uninjured, and the driver was taken to Port Macquarie Hospital for mandatory testing.

Officers from Mid North Coast Police District attended and will investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.  A report will be prepared for the Coroner.

The Oxley Highway was closed in both directions for a time, but has now re-opened.
