Vic man dies after car rolls into creek

A man has died after his car crashed down an embankment and rolled into a creek in Melbourne.

Police believe the car veered off the Western Freeway in Melton early on Sunday before ploughing down the bank and into the water.

A passerby spotted the wreck about 11.30am.

The driver, a 46-year-old man from Melton West, was the only person in the vehicle and died at the scene.

Police are keen to speak to witnesses.

Victoria's provisional road toll sits at 70, up from 67 this time last year.
