A WALKAMIN man has died after his car left the Kennedy Highway early last night and collided with an embankment.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the crash that took place near Frazer Road at around 6.50pm.
The driver, a 35-year-old Walkamin man, was the only occupant in the vehicle and succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Investigators are appealing for anyone who may have seen the man’s white 2017 Toyota Hilux driving on the Kennedy Highway at the time, or who may have dash-camera footage, to contact them.
Investigations are ongoing.
