It comes just days after 19-year-old Fyfa Dawson died after being hit by a truck during a section of major road works on Springs Rd, Christchurch, last week.
An overbridge is currently being constructed in the area where Dawson was killed and it's understood the truck was turning into the roadworks construction site when she was hit.
Four motorcyclists, all in the South Island, were also killed - two in one crash on Dyers Pass Rd, Christchurch, yesterday.
The deaths push the number of motorcyclists to have died on the roads to 47, compared to 39 at the same time last year. It's so far the highest number of deaths in at least five years, while 2017 was the worst for cyclists - when 16 died.
