Fatal crash at Boisdale

Wellington Highway Patrol members are investigating the circumstances surrounding a fatal crash that occurred at Boisdale, near Sale last night, Victoria Police say.

A passer-by came across the crash scene on the Boisdale-Newry Road near the intersection of Back Valencia Creek Road just before 10.30pm.

Police believe the driver of a red Holden utility lost control of the vehicle as he approached a bend in the road prior to the intersection.

It appears that the utility left the roadway, travelled over a spoon drain and came to rest on its roof.

The 34-year-old driver, who was the sole occupant, died at the scene.
