A man has died after the vehicle he was in rolled in Logan Saturday night.
Emergency crews were called to New Beith Rd, Greenbank, just before 10pm to reports of a single-vehicle rollover involving a Volkswagen Amarok.

Two passengers, a 36-year-old Regents Park man and 35-year-old Eagleby man, were taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with minor injuries.
Mark Comiskey, owner of Ozzy Nursery, said he heard a loud bang as the vehicle rolled into the storm drainage area across the road from his business.
“From what I could see, it rolled over into the ditch. Police and ambulance were quick to respond,” he said.
Mr Comiskey said when he went to bed about four hours after the crash, emergency crews were still at the scene.
On Sunday morning, tyre marks were visible leading into the drain, with two guide posts knocked over and soil upturned.
“This is a problem road,” he said.
“There have been multiple fatal accidents since 2020 within 200 metres of here. The speed was reduced near the new childcare facility, but it still stops short right here.
“Something needs to be done.”
