Alexandrina Rd was closed for several hours on Monday night while Major Crash investigators examined the scene.

The man’s car was towed from the scene for examination and the road has reopened.

Earlier this month, a 21-year-old died when his car veered off Twin Rivers Rd near Stockport around 8.45pm on June 1, mounted a rise and slammed into a gum tree.

The impact was so violent it split the car in two.

The driver was only person in the vehicle and tragically died at the scene.
