Two motorbike riders, including a 14-year-old boy, were riding along a road in southern NSW when they crashed, resulting in the death of one.

There was a crash between two motorbikes on Araluen Road, about 25 km south of Braidwood, before 9 am on Wednesday (17 December), a NSW Police spokesperson said.

One rider, a 25-year-old man, died before emergency services arrived.

The 14-year-old male rider of the second bike was taken to Bungendore Hospital before he was airlifted to Canberra Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

“Inquiries have also established that the bikes were unregistered.”

Police urge anyone with information about the crash, or who was in the area at the time with any available dashcam or mobile phone footage, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or by clicking here.
