A car was found upside down in a paddock just south of Ward.

St John dispatched an ambulance from Blenheim. A rescue helicopter from Wellington was also sent to the crash site.

But by the time paramedics arrived, the man was dead.

Senior police from Blenheim were investigating the accident scene.
