Adelaide motorcyclist killed in crash two months before wedding
Aidan Alchin, a 23-year-old Adelaide motorcyclist, was killed in a crash on Gorge Road at Paracombe on 5 October, just two months before his planned wedding to Miss Universe Australia state finalist Hayley Sutter. His Yamaha motorcycle collided with two sedans around 12:50pm, and the tragedy has sparked renewed focus on road safety in South Australia, where another person also died on the roads during the Labour Day long weekend.
Alchin had survived a serious motorcycle crash in 2022 that left him with lower back injuries, after which he transitioned from construction work to his father's locksmith business and pursued formal qualifications at TAFE Queensland. The couple had been together for five years, and tributes from Adelaide's motorcycle community described him as a loyal, caring friend with a "heart of absolute gold" who was always willing to help others. South Australian Police have urged motorists and riders to take greater care on the roads, stay within their capabilities and adjust their speed to conditions.
