Man dies in Busselton crash

A thirty-two-year-old Busselton man has died after the utility vehicle he was driving crashed into a tree on Duke Street last night.

The man, identified as Leigh Maxwell, lost control of his car as he turned onto Duke Street from Ford Street around 7.50pm last night.

Busselton police Senior Sergeant Steve Principe said the drivers’ side experienced the full impact of the crash.

“FESA had to be called in to cut him out of the vehicle and he was brought to Busselton hospital where he later succumbed to his severe injuries,” he said.

Sen. Sgt Principe said speed was a possible factor in the crash, but investigations were continuing.
