A postal worker died when his Royal Mail van left the road and rolled down a steep embankment.
The 40-year-old, from Southampton, died off The Downs Road near Downend, Isle of Wight, at about 07:30 BST.
No other vehicle was reported to have been involved in the crash, which happened on Arreton Down, Hampshire Constabulary confirmed.
"We were deeply saddened to learn about this incident," a Royal Mail spokesman said.
"Our thoughts are with our colleague's family and friends at this difficult time.

A just Giving web page has been set up to offer support to the family he has left behind, wife and two school age children. Any donation would be appreciated, despite working in excess of 30 hours a week he was on a 5 hour contract meaning his death in service benefit will be less than £10K. Disgraceful but RM would not budge on increasing his contract hours. (Admin - not sure if this is relevant section or even if allowed, please move or remove as appropriate thanks)
