Police say an elderly man most likely suffered a medical episode before crashing into a petrol bowser at Mayfield and later dying in hospital.
Emergency services were called to the BP Station on Maitland Road at about 4.30pm on Tuesday where the man's Toyota Camry had crashed into a fuel bowser while he was attempting to leave the station.
Police say the bowser sustained only minor damage in the crash.
The 82-year-old man, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was treated by paramedics before being taken to the Calvary Mater Hospital, where he later died.
He is yet to be formally identified.
A report is being prepared for the Coroner.
