Man, 77, dies two weeks after Newstead crash

A 77-year-old man has died in hospital following a single-vehicle crash in Newstead a fortnight ago.

Police have been told a Mitsubishi Verada sedan was travelling east along Pyrenees Highway at around 4pm on July 16 when it is believed the driver lost control of the vehicle, clipped a power pole and crashed.

“The driver and sole occupant of the car, a 77-year-old man from Wheatsheaf, was taken to Bendigo hospital where he later died,” Victoria Police said in a statement today.

“Bendigo police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.”
