Both lanes of the Melba Hwy were closed after the road accident.

Investigators believe two vehicles collided head-on about 5.45am on the Melba Highway.

The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be established, however at this stage it is believed one of the vehicles veered onto the other side of the road.

The male driver and sole occupant, who is yet to be formally identified, died at the scene.

The male driver and sole occupant of the second vehicle sustained minor injuries.

It is believed a truck was also involved in a minor crash with one of the vehicles following the collision.
