He died just months after Aussie spinning legend Shane Warne passed away.
A police statement said they were investigating a fatal single-vehicle crash in Hervey Range, some 50 kilometres from Townsville, where Symonds lived.
"Early information indicates, shortly after 11pm the car was being driven on Hervey Range Road, near Alice River Bridge when it left the roadway and rolled," the statement read as quoted by Cricket Australia.
