NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the motorcyclist, but he died at the scene.

The 24-year-old driver of the ute allegedly left the scene before later returning.

Both the male bus driver, aged 54, and the 19-year-old female driver of the sedan stopped at the crash.

The three drivers were arrested and taken to Wollongong Hospital for mandatory testing, before the 54-year-old man and 19-year-old woman were released.

The 24-year-old man was charged with failing to stop and assist after a vehicle impact causing death.

He was refused police bail and will face Wollongong Local Court on Saturday.

Investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the crash.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
