Early indications suggest the car rolled several times and crashed after the driver lost control.

Emergency services rendered first aid to a 16-year-old boy, but he was pronounced deceased at the scene a short time later.

Two other passengers and the driver, all aged 14, were transported to hospital with minor injuries.

The vehicle has not been reported as stolen.
