Simon Morris: Parmelia father mourned after e-bike collision with bus carrying primary school kids

Tributes have flowed for a father who died in hospital after he crashed his e-bike into a school bus in Perth’s south.

Simon Morris was riding his e-bike at the Tunnicliffe Street and Parmelia Avenue roundabout in Parmelia around 3.30pm on Thursday when he collided with a school bus.

Paramedics were quickly on scene and rushed the 37-year-old to Rockingham Hospital but he later died from the injuries he sustained in the crash.

He was known to his friends and family as Simmo with those close to him laying flowers at the crash site on Friday.

“He was the most amazing friend, he had a heart of gold, he was my best friend,” his friend Bec Forrest told 10NEWS.

She thanked the witnesses and first responders who quickly came to his aid.

“We just want to thank everyone because at the end of the day, no matter the outcome, there was still people with him,” Ms Forrest said.

“He didn’t die alone.”

The bus involved in the fatal collision had primary school children onboard.

The 59-year-old bus driver and the children onboard were uninjured.
