In the latest accident, a 19-year-old man died when his car apparently lost control and rolled down an embankment about 2km east of Beulah in the southern Mallee region.

The man, from Birchip, was the sole occupant of the car which was found by a passer-by on Birchip-Rainbow Rd about 7.30am today.

In Mildura, a 36-year-old motorcyclist died when his bike hit a gutter and rolled down an embankment on to a railway line at Magnolia Ave about 2.30am yesterday.

The Koorlong man was flown to the Alfred Hospital where he was placed on life support but died last night.

Police believe he was not wearing a helmet.

In other accidents this weekend, police are investigating the death of a man after his utility hit a wall in Geelong today.

The 53-year-old was in the utility about 12.05am in Latrobe Terrace when he moved off from traffic lights at the intersection of Kilgour St.

The vehicle left the road at low speed and struck a brick wall.

The driver died at the scene.
