Police in Australia are investigating after a 10-year-old boy died and two people were injured when a car reportedly hit a tree on a rural road in the NSW Hunter region.
About 11 a.m. Saturday, emergency services responded to reports a vehicle left the road and hit a tree before it rolled a number of times on Flaggs Rd in Merriwa, about two hours northwest of Mudgee.
The boy, a passenger in the car, was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.
A 15-year-old girl was taken to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle in a stable condition.
The male driver, 46, was flown to the same hospital in a critical condition.
Hunter Valley Police are investigating the crash and have urged anyone with dash cam footage to come forward.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
