Child, ten, dies in ATV crash on property

A ten-year-old has died after an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) rolled on a property near Nowra.

Emergency services were to a property on Devitts Road at Meroo Meadow, about 15 kms north of Nowra, just after 11am, after reports of a crash.

Police have been told the ATV was being driven by a 10-year-old boy, with a 19-year-old male passenger, when it lost control and flipped, trapping the boy underneath.

Witnesses were able to free the boy and treat him until the arrival of paramedics; however, he died at the scene.

Officers from South Coast Police District attended and established a crime scene.

The 19-year-old male passenger was treated for shock and taken to Shoalhaven District Hospital.

A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.
