A 19-year-old man is facing a string of charges over the crash death of a teenage boy at The Rock on Sunday.
The man was allegedly behind the wheel when the vehicle crashed into a tree on Vincents Road and rolled onto its roof.
Emergency services rushed to the scene after reports of the crash flowed in around 2pm.
Tragically, the white Ford sedan’s passenger, a 13-year-old boy, died at the scene.
The driver was treated for minor injuries at the crash site by paramedics prior to being taken to Wagga Rural Referral Hospital for blood and urine tests.
A crime scene was established at the Vincents Road site, where specialist forensic officers combed the tragic scene for evidence surrounding the crash.
