The accident occurred at 5.30pm around 26 kilometres north-east of Bathurst and while emergency services were called and rendered first-aid, he died at the scene.
Zachery was just 19 years old.
For many years he had played Bathurst Bushrangers AFL Club and club president Graeme Grundy said the club was in shock.
“The club’s absolutely shattered, it’s just stunned everyone,” he said.
“He was just a bloody good kid.”
Mr Grundy said many Bushrangers players and supporters met at the club on Wednesday as a mark of respect for Zachery.
Zachery went to Denison College Kelso High campus and was school captain in 2014.
He was studying at the University of Wollongong.
