Investigators believe the vehicle driven by the 64-year-old victim hit a kerb on Warwick Road before careering into a bus stop post, striking a tree and coming to rest on its side near Allenswood Road about 6.10pm.
Members of the public pushed the white Mitsubishi Outlander back on to its wheels.
Emergency crews could not save the Madeley man, who was the vehicle’s only occupant.
