Police are investigating a fatal head-on collision in Myrtlebank on Monday afternoon.
It is understood the two vehicles, a sedan and a grey utility, collided on Myrtlebank Rd near Maffra-Sale Rd about 4.30pm on Monday, January 3.
The sedan burst into flames before the fire was extinguished by emergency services.
Sadly, the driver of the sedan, who was yet to be formally identified yesterday, died at the scene.
