A man has died after his e-bike collided with a garbage truck in Sydney’s CBD, with commuters warned of traffic delays.

The man, aged in his 30s, collided with the truck about 6am on Tuesday at the intersection of Little Regent Street and George Street in Ultimo.

He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.

The driver of the truck, a 28-year-old man, has been taken to hospital for mandatory testing.

The truck was seen in place in the intersection, which connects to the Mercure Hotel.

Next to it, police had erected a blue tent to shield parts of the scene from public view.
