A DRIVER has died after his car crashed into a tree in the New Forest.
The man's blue Volvo S60 collided with a tree in Hatchet Lane, Beaulieu, at around 5.35pm on Saturday.
The man, who was 53 and from Marchwood, died at the scene while being assessed by paramedics.
No one else was in the car.
The road connecting Lyndhurst and Beaulieu has a number of notorious sharp corners, but the driver appears to have veered off a straight piece of road.
Police are appealing for witnesses. Anyone with information is urged to call 101, quoting Operation Tape.
