Emergency services received reports a white Hyundai van had driven off the Goulburn Valley Hwy near Carlisle St about 2.40am on Saturday, September 16.

The driver, a 76-year-old man from Clifford Hill in South Australia, died at the scene.

Police said the van had lights on the roof and investigators believe it may be a pilot vehicle.

The exact circumstances surrounding the crash are yet to be determined and police will prepare a report for the coroner.

It is the second fatal accident on the Goulburn Valley Hwy in a week.
