Lachlan Pearson, 47, was involved in a vehicle rollover on Yarrabee Road at Markwood about 12.20pm on Wednesday.

Investigators have been told Mr Pearson got out of the badly damaged car and tried to flag down a second vehicle.

The driver of that car stopped to assist him.

Mr Pearson died at the scene.

Mr Pearson, a father and grandfather, often conducted handyman work for people in the area.
