Police said initial investigations indicate the 66-year-old was a passenger in a silver Honda Accord that had veered off the road and come to a stop in a ditch.

The vehicle was reportedly travelling east at the time of the crash.

The man driving the car sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the Launceston General Hospital.
