THREE people have died in three separate single-vehicle accidents around the state in an horrific 24-hour stretch.
A 61-year-old Targa man was killed when his car left the Tasman Highway and rolled into a paddock about 7pm yesterday.
The accident happened near Targa.
Police said the man was travelling east towards Launceston when his silver Toyota Sorento sedan crossed to the wrong side of the highway, left the road and rolled into a paddock on a sharp corner.
Speaking at the scene, Constable Angus Dobner said the driver was tossed from the vehicle and was dead when police arrived.
``Police are investigating as to whether alcohol may have been a factor, and at this stage it appears the driver was not wearing a seatbelt,'' Constable Dobner said.
Police have asked for anyone who witnessed the incident to call the Ravenswood police station on 6339 3666 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
In the second fatal crash yesterday, a person died on Cockatoo Gully Road at Dysart, in the state's South.
