AN 87-year-old man has died after he crashed into a granite wall while driving down a hill in St Lawrence on Monday afternoon.

The States police are appealing for information after the man, who was driving a red Toyota Starlet, collided with a granite wall towards the bottom of Mont Cambrai at around 1.15pm on Monday.

His family have been informed, but formal identification awaits.
