A motorbike rider has died after crashing on Leach Highway.

A male in his 20's has died after being involved in a crash on Leach Highway this morning.

At around 12:25am a Ford sedan was seen driving on the wrong side of the road when it crashed into the motorbike rider.

Earlier at 11:45pm, police attempted to pull over the sedan in Seville Grove.

The 35-year-old female driver failed to stop.

It was then discovered that the driver had crashed into the motorbike before hitting a pole on Leach Highway.

The man was taken to hospital in a critical condition by ambulance but died as a result of his injuries.

The woman is currently at Royal Perth Hospital under police guard.

Her injuries aren't believed to be serious.

Leach Highway from Wanneroo Road to Albany Highway was closed for several hours this morning, but has since been re-opened.

Police are investigating and anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make an online report.
