Police are investigating after a man died in a single-vehicle crash near Esk early on Thursday morning.
At 2:07am, police were called after a witness reported seeing headlights in bushland near the Brisbane Valley Highway.
Police arrived a short time later and found a white Toyota Hilux upside down with significant damage.
A police spokesperson said initial investigations indicated the vehicle was travelling in northerly direction when it failed to negotiate a bend.
The vehicle left the road before hitting several objects and overturning.
The sole occupant of the vehicle, a 19-year-old Salisbury man, was unable to be revived and pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Forensic Crash Unit is continuing their investigation and are appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash to contact police.
