The crash
A 79-year-old man died in hospital after a car rolled over in Cranbrook. He’d been taken to Albany Health Campus for treatment after losing control of his vehicle on Albany Highway at 1:20pm on Tuesday last week.
He later died from his injuries, according to the report. The account gives no further details about his medical treatment or when he died.
The report names the driver only as a 79-year-old man. It says he lost control while travelling on Albany Highway, but doesn’t explain why or describe what happened just before the vehicle rolled over.
Police appeal for information
Police are appealing for information about the incident. They urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers. That’s the only action described in the account; it reports no arrest, charge or other police finding.
The report doesn’t say whether anyone else was in the vehicle or injured. Nor does it give details about the vehicle, road conditions, weather or the precise location of the rollover beyond Cranbrook and Albany Highway. It also doesn’t state whether witnesses have already spoken to police.
What the report establishes
The account records a sequence: at 1:20pm on Tuesday last week, the man was travelling on Albany Highway, lost control of his vehicle, went to Albany Health Campus for medical treatment and later died from his injuries. It describes no separate collision, identifies no other vehicle and attributes responsibility to no one else.
The report gives no information about the man’s work, income, family or circumstances, and doesn’t connect the incident to a workplace or employment. It also says nothing about the cost of his treatment or who paid for it. Those details aren’t part of the account, which focuses on the rollover, the man’s death and the police request for information.
Police ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers. The report includes no direct statements from the man, relatives, witnesses or medical staff. It doesn’t say what information police are seeking or whether they’ve received any responses to the appeal.
The confirmed outcome is clear. The 79-year-old man died in hospital after the Cranbrook rollover. Police continue to seek information from anyone who may know something about the incident. The supplied account gives no further detail about the crash or the man’s treatment at Albany Health Campus.
