Dylan Mangion, 21, was driving a Ford sedan south on Coburns Road in Kurunjang, near Melton, at 11.15pm on Saturday when he lost control.
The car veered off the road, smashed through a fence into a paddock, and rolled several times.
The Brookfield man was thrown from the car.
He was flown to hospital but died shortly after arrival.
A 20-year-old Kurunjang man and a 16-year-old Melton South girl, occupants in the car, were both taken to hospital with minor injuries.
