Queensland (Australia) Police say they are investigating a fatal single-vehicle crash in Hervey Range,
about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Townsville. Emergency services attending the crash had tried to
revive Symonds, but he died from his injuries.
Information received indicates that Symonds’ crash happened shortly after 11pm on Saturday May 14.
Symonds played 26 Test matches for Australia as a batting all-rounder between 2004 and 2008, as well
as 198 one-day internationals and 14 Twenty20 internationals in a career that spanned 11 years.
After retiring in 2012, Symonds worked as a TV commentator for Fox Sports.
Symonds is the third Australian cricket icon to die this year after Shane Warne and Rod Marsh.
