Police were called about 10.30am after the man's Toyota Land Cruiser Prado left State Highway 8 about 13km from Alexandra and travelled down a bank before colliding with trees.
The man, the only occupant of the Prado, was able to alert emergency services and get himself out of the vehicle.
He sustained serious injuries and was taken to Dunstan Hospital where he died this afternoon.
No other vehicle was involved.
A Serious Crash Investigation is under way, and the man's name will be released once next of kin have been informed.
