A man has been charged with manslaughter following a deadly crash in the Hunter Valley last year.
Emergency services were called to Flaggs Road at Merriwa on October 1, 2022 following reports a Toyota Prado had left the road and rolled a number of times.
A 10-year-old boy died at the scene, while the male driver and a 15-year-old girl were airlifted to the John Hunter Hospital for treatment.
Following inquiries, crash investigators arrested the driver, now aged 47, at a home at Gungal on Tuesday.
He was refused bail to face Muswellbrook Local Court today (Wednesday 8 February) charged with several offences including manslaughter and dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm.
