Two other people on the vehicle at the time of the crash were not injured.

Major Crash Investigators went to the scene to examine the circumstances that led to the crash.

Police are preparing a report for the coroner.

The fatality will not be counted on the road toll, as the crash happened on a private property.

It follows a fatal quad bike crash in the Murray Mallee in September 2019.

A 23-year-old Westbourne Park man died at the scene.
