A teenager will face court in relation to a single vehicle crash in the Northern Rivers which seriously injured a 15-year-old boy earlier this year.

Back in February, emergency services responded to reports of a rolled Mazda 6 near Wardell Road in Alstonville, about 18km west of Ballina.

A 15-year-old boy was thrown from the vehicle and taken to Lismore Base Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The 17-year-old male driver, and three other passengers, all aged 16, were also taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Following investigations, a 17-year-old youth was charged with several driving-related offences including dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, and negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm.

He will appear in Children’s Court in August.
