Default 370Z Driver Killed

I hope this is not one of our guys on this forum. The following news article is from channel 9 news: Man killed in Melbourne cliff crash

A man has died after his sports car plunged about 10m down a cliff to the bank of the Yarra River in Melbourne's outer northeast this morning.

The driver of the late model Nissan, aged in his mid-20s, has been confirmed dead as emergency crews attempt to pull the vehicle from alongside the Yarra River near Everard Drive in the semi-rural suburb of Warrandyte.

The car reportedly left the road and rolled down the embankment about 7.10am.

It landed on its roof but short of the water.

A police spokeswoman told 3AW Radio the car is believed to have been travelling at about 100km/h on the narrow road — double the speed limit.

The driver was also not wearing a seatbelt.

Police said that initial reports that suggested another person was travelling in the car are false.

The driver is believed to have been a local of the community, located about 30km from the CBD.

"It's a pretty horrific scene here, the fall’s probably 40 to 50 feet into the river bank, the Yarra River here at Warrandyte," a witness told 3AW Radio.
