Police say investigations revealed that three men were travelling in the Kubota when it turned into a driveway and rolled over, ejecting one occupant who was then pinned beneath the vehicle.

Bystanders were able to lift the vehicle off the man, but despite resuscitative efforts by paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Officials have not released further information on the victim.

The other two occupants of the vehicle were not injured.

The cause of the rollover is still under investigation, with detectives from the NRPS Collision Reconstruction Unit, 8 District Detective Office, and the NRPS Forensics Services Unit involved in the case. The Ministry of Labour was also notified and was at the scene.
