Cape Town - A man was killed when his motorbike collided with a bakkie in Rondebosch in Cape Town on Wednesday morning, emergency personnel said.

"The collision occurred at the intersection of the M3 and Rhodes Avenue [at 08:30]... A motorcyclist was allegedly travelling in the direction of [the CBD] when he collided with a bakkie," said ER24 spokesperson Andre Visser.

"[Paramedics] could see that the collision was severe due to the amount of damage sustained to both of the vehicles."

The motorcyclist, in his thirties, died on the scene and the driver of the bakkie had to be extricated from the vehicle but sustained only minor injuries.

The bakkie was carrying a load of blue paint which spilled onto the road.

The intersection would remain closed for "quite some time".
