Victoria Police spokesman Adam West said police had been told that a car was travelling along Epping-Kilmore Road about 5.20pm.
"It appears the driver lost control of the car which left the road and crashed into an electricity pole," Leading Senior Constable West said.
"The driver, who is yet to be formally identified, died at the scene."
Leading Senior Constable West said police were investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident and will prepare a report for the Coroner.
The latest accident brings the total number of lives lost on Victoria's roads so far this year to 147. That's 21 more than at the same time last year.
