A man has died in Melbourne’s north after smashing into a power pole, with police investigating the circumstances surrounding a fatal crash.
Investigators believe a Toyota 4WD was travelling east on Dundas St when the driver drove onto the wrong side of the road and collided with a power pole near Victoria Drive about 6pm Wednesday.
A Victoria Police spokesman said the driver, a 62-year-old man from Lalor, died at the scene.
“At this stage it’s believed the driver had a medical episode before the crash,” the police spokesman said.
“No one else was injured.”
The exact circumstances surrounding the crash are yet to be determined, and investigations remain ongoing.
