Boy, 12, charged over death of girl in WA ute rollover
A 12-year-old boy has been charged over the death of a girl thrown from the tray of the ute he was driving in far north Western Australia.
Police said the boy, aged 11 at the time, was driving dangerously and speeding when he rolled the vehicle on mudflats in Wyndham in September.
Two girls, both aged 11, were thrown from the tray and one was killed.
The ute was also carrying two other boys aged 11 and 13 who were seated inside.
WA Police on Friday said major crash investigators had charged the boy with manslaughter after examining the crash near the Northern Territory border.
He will face Kununurra Children's Court on June 5.
