Victoria Police spokeswoman Madelaine Burke said a 77-year-old Wheatsheaf man had died after a single-vehicle crash at Newstead.
Ms Burke said his Mitsubishi Verada sedan was travelling east along Pyrenees Highway when it was believed the driver lost control of the vehicle, hit a power pole and crashed about 4.15pm Friday July 16.
The man, who was the sole occupant of the car, was taken to Bendigo Health for treatment.
On Thursday police confirmed the 77-year-old had died.
Ms Burke said Bendigo Police were investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.
