NSW Ambulance spokesperson Kay Armstrong said the scene was challenging due to the amount of traffic.

"Paramedics worked to stabilise the patient before he was taken to hospital with a medical team on board.

"Traffic incidents involving motorcycles can result in very serious injuries and this is a timely reminder for everyone to take care on the roads."

There are long delays for traffic in both directions but those heading west will be impacted most.

Westbound Parramatta Road traffic is backed up around two kilometres with the onramp to the M4 from Parramatta Rd at Concord closed, impacting anyone trying to head west to areas like Auburn, Granville, or Parramatta from the inner west.

A small two car crash on the M4 westbound at Auburn is adding to delays, with two of the five lanes closed.
