The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating after a man died in a single-vehicle crash in Esk early this morning.
At 2:07am, police were called to the incident on the Brisbane Valley Highway, after a witness reported seeing headlights in bushland near the road.
Police arrived a short time later and found a white Toyota Hilux upside down with significant damage.
Initial investigations indicate this vehicle was travelling in northerly direction when it failed to negotiate a bend and left the road before colliding with 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.
