A 77 year old male from New Town has died following a crash involving a silver Toyota Corolla sedan and several parked vehicles on Constance Avenue, Glenorchy on Sunday the 20^th day of March 2016 at approximately 1:37pm.

The male was travelling south on Constance avenue between McGough Street and Grove Road when he collided with the rear of a red Daewoo Lanos which was parked and unoccupied at the time, approximately 30 meters from the Grove Road intersection.

Witnesses in the area at the time approached the male to provide assistance however he accelerated south and crossed the intersection with Grove road and collided with another parked and unoccupied vehicle, a Mitsubishi Pajero, located approximately 35 meters south of the intersection.

The force of the collision pushed the Mitsubishi forward approximately 6 meters before colliding with the rear of a parked Hyundai Sanata.

Police from Glenorchy attended the scene along with Ambulance Paramedics and Tasmania Fire Service. The driver was declared deceased at the scene a short time later.

Constance Avenue was closed to all traffic whilst Police Crash Investigators and Forensic Officers investigated the scene. The scene was cleared and the road was reopened to all traffic by 5.00pm.

The male was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, from witness accounts, and evidence at the scene police believe a medical condition suffered by the driver at the time of the crash is most likely to be the cause. Investigations are continuing and a report will be prepared for the Coroner.

The crash investigator, First Class Constable Adam HALL, would like to hear from any member of the public who may have witnessed the crash or observed the vehicle prior to the incident.
