The ACT has recorded its third road fatality of this year after a single-vehicle incident in Tuggeranong yesterday afternoon (22 July).
At around 4:20 pm, a green Holden Commodore sedan was travelling north on Drakeford Drive, an ACT Policing spokesperson said.
North of the Athllon Drive/Drakeford Drive/Isabella Drive roundabout, the Commodore left the roadway and proceeded between two bridges, entering Isabella Pond. The car quickly became completely submerged in the water.
Emergency services responded and the driver, a 18-year-old man, was located deceased in the vehicle. There were no other occupants of the vehicle.
ACT Policing’s Major Collision Team is conducting an investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
Police have asked to speak to anyone who may have seen the incident or have dash-cam footage of the green Holden Commodore travelling on Drakeford Drive prior to it leaving the roadway.
Anyone who can assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote 7489579.
