A six-year-old boy allegedly wasn’t properly restrained before a ute he was in rolled in southern NSW, killing him and injuring another boy.

The boy died after the Toyota Hilux was badly damaged in a rollover at Moulamein, northwest of Deniliquin, on December 22.

Another occupant — a four-year-old boy — was airlifted to the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

On Wednesday, the driver arrived at Deniliquin Police Station and was charged over the crash.

The 31-year-old man faces five charges including dangerous driving occasioning death and two counts of driving with a young child who is not restrained as prescribed.

His driver’s licence was also suspended.

The man was granted conditional bail to appear in Deniliquin Local Court on February 15.
