A boy watched his father die after the man collided with a vehicle during a trail bike ride in western NSW.

The 48-year-old man and his 17-year-old son were riding trail bikes on a road at Ballimore, east of Dubbo, about 10am yesterday just before the collision.

The man was about 70 metres ahead of his son on Mitchell Creek Road when he collided with an oncoming four-wheel-drive on a right-hand bend.

He sustained critical head injuries and died.

The trail bike and the vehicle were taken to a holding yard for further examination.

An investigation into the incident is being conducted and a report will be prepared for the NSW
coroner.
