A 57-year-old, who was the only occupant of the vehicle, was found unconscious when police arrived. He was transported by Emergency Health Services to a hospital but later died.
Two hours later, at 9:10 a.m., police responded to a collision between a pickup and an HRP motorcycle that had been there to direct traffic after the previous accident.
