The passenger is a man in his 70s, who has been taken to The Royal Melbourne Hospital in a stable condition, according to Ambulance Victoria.

A gyrocopter is similar to a helicopter in appearance, but its rotor is turned by relative airflow instead of a motor.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.

The exact cause of the crash is yet to be determined at this stage.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, has CCTV, dashcam footage or any other information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
