It’s understood a white Holden Commodore travelling south allegedly crashed through fencing on the median strip, veering onto the wrong side of the road and into the path of the motorbike and two other vehicles about 3.50pm on Tuesday.

Witnesses say Liebig came off the bike and was then run over by a Mazda ute.

Emergency services attempted to revive him, but he died at the scene.

In a tribute online, his wife, Prudence Liebig said: “Yesterday afternoon, whilst coming home to me, my darling Kym was killed.”

“He is gone, I am broken.”

Liebig was an experienced rider who was well-known in motorcycle racing circles across South Australia - and had previously made videos promoting road safety for riders.

The South Australian Road Racing Community said: “We are heartbroken by the loss of Kym... he was more than just a talented racer, he was someone who brought warmth and generosity to the paddock and was always known for having one of the biggest hearts.”

The barefoot Commodore driver, a 44-year-old Park Holme man, was arrested at the scene by Major Crash officers.

He was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on March 19.

South Rd was closed in both directions for most of the evening but later reopened.

Investigations are ongoing and anyone with relevant information or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
