Fatal Crash, Pontville
Monday, 15 June 2026 – 10:04 am.
Sadly, a 42-year-old man has died following a single vehicle crash at Pontville overnight.
Police and emergency services were called to the scene on the Midland Highway near the Pontville roundabout shortly before 10:40pm.
Initial inquiries indicate the man was travelling south in a blue Mercedes station wagon when it has left the roadway, striking an embankment before rolling and coming to rest on its roof.
He was the sole occupant of the vehicle, and no other vehicles are believed to have been involved.
The highway was closed for several hours while scene examinations were conducted, and police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the crash.
Anyone with information or relevant dash cam footage who hasn’t already spoken to police is asked to call 131 444 and quote ESCAD 433-12062026.
Our thoughts are with the man’s family and loved ones. A report will be prepared for the coroner.
